The NFL preseason has kicked off and with that, we thought we'd replay one of our favorite episodes from a few years ago when we sat down with Nate Bain of the Tennessee Titans to talk about handling an NFL team's social media account. There are a lot of good insights in this episode.

By the way, Jamy worked for Nate's dad (Jeff Bain), who was just recently inducted into the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA) Hall of Fame.

As a reminder, between now and September 1, preorder Jamy's new book, "The Coach's Bulletin Board" and receive an additional copy of the paperback for free. Please visit JamyBechler.com/BulletinBoardBook to get your free copies.
