Yeah perhaps a "slider" that could adjust the goal difficulty (i.e. more punishment for missing a goal(s) less credit for making goal(s) and/or just harder goal(s) to meet) would help. I'm sure people will come up with all kinds of interesting rules/guidelines that are easy to follow and make for a better/more realistic coaching career.
Be careful. Next think you know you will be a defendant and/or a witness being deposed in a lawsuit b/c of some Coach's "likeness" was used w/o their permission.They're not based on real coaches
So if I start as the OC at Syracus with my custom playbook and I put down that my alma mater is Syracus, there is a good chance that one day I will be offered the head coaching gig at Syracuse right??? Second, on average, how long do you act as a coordinator before you start to entertain head coach jobs???
Uh oh...the resident lawyer caught me.Yeah perhaps a "slider" that could adjust the goal difficulty (i.e. more punishment for missing a goal(s) less credit for making goal(s) and/or just harder goal(s) to meet) would help.

In regards to Boise....they have "been there" but never gotten over that hump, so maybe a little drop in the job security to fire the coach up? He may have had goals of going to the BCS title game because so many starters came back...and they didn't get there.
It's possible. I have seen quite a few instances in my many many sims where they have promoted from within.
It depends on where you're coordinator at and how you do. It's possible to get a head coach job at a small school after year one of a good performance.
i think it's really up to you and how you want to play it... i'm sure if you do well right out of the gate you'll get offers from minor schools... it's up to you to take it or leave it....plan your own path ...that's half the fun
Yep, you can set yourself up rules like a) you have to honor your contract b) you can't move from a small time OC/DC to HC until you're a OC/DC of a BCS school, etc.
Another Q popped into my head. Let's say you arte offensive coordinator. As you are watching the game (defense) are you able to 1. challenge a play and 2. call a timeout and 3. swelect play style (conservative, aggressive, etc). I suspect you can't but just curious...
None of the above as you're watching a super sim, I believe.
The only way you can do 1 or 2 is possibly if you're watching the play go instead of super sim, but I never tried doing that.
People.... "LIKE" the video clip of facebook and once 643,000ish is hit, we will get part two of the video!!!
Yep, I'm already in the process of setting up rules for myself. So far, my first draft of coaching rules consist of:
- May only be OC/DC for first 5-6 years of dynasty.
- May only move on to higher rated OC/DC jobs after end of first contract.
- May only make jump to Head Coach if going to a mid-major school.
- May only make jump to Head Coach of major school after 5 years HC experience at mid-major.
- Must honor contract years in full, except:
.....- May leave via escape clause if offered a coaching contract from Navy (alma mater)
Those are some excellent rules. I plan on doing one similar (more of an outline than just rules):
- Starting as an OC - must complete first contract (most likely 2 years)
- Must spend no less than 3 seasons as OC of first school (most likely a
program)
- Next stop as OC can't be higher prestige than prestige of previous school (most likely no higher than a
program) but can't be in a power conference.
- Must spend at least 3 more seasons as OC at next stop and finish first contract offered from school.
- At this point, can accept HC job at
schools only but have access to
power conference teams as OC.
- If HC at lower school, must stay there until brought up to
- At this point, all
- After 5 seasons there (finishing at least first contract with new team), all schools available.
- Only exception, is if, after first HC gig, offer for OC or HC for alma mater (WVU) becomes available can opt out of current contract to go home.
Yeah, I'm going to work on it some and flesh it out more between now and release day. Those I just basically came up with in a matter of minutes of thought. I definitely like your set up how you have things currently. I might have to borrow some of those ideas and incorporate them into my rules/outline.
That is what's great about the feature it has to be designed for any one to use, but you can set up your own set of rules. If you get offers from teams that you dont think you should or wouldn't receive irl you can decline it. Once you do this the CPU will fill its position then a smaller program will have a open spot that you may be interested in. The cool thing is we have more options and I cool with that.
Yeah, I was just thinking of a way to really make it last and I think being the OC/DC for a few years will really help progress the dynasty much quicker. Saying I get the requests that I think I will at the time that I have planned above, I'm looking at least 6 completed seasons deep into the dynasty before I even have a chance to taste a HC job and at least 9 seasons deep before I have a chance of going to my alma mater. Should definitely help make the dynasty more interesting as I could take the long route (OC power conference school before getting the HC/OC gig at WVU) and it would probably be 12+ seasons before I get a job at WVU.
Before starting any of my dynasties, I plan to just sim through a good 15 seasons of one to see what happens. Hopefully we don't have progression issues like last year at first. Really ruined any chances of going deep into a dynasty early.
Don't forget to check out two Quick Clips from EA Sports showcasing Coach Contracts and the Coaching Carousel.
Oops... one other coordinator Q... who controls special teams???
Not positive but I think whomever's it falls under (ie OC controls FGs/Punts, DC controls FG Block/Punt Returns).
What is the youngest age you can start as a OC/Coach?
22-68 is the age range for coaches. They will start to retire at 65, unless user-controlled.
IIRC, when you create a coach you do not edit Age. You can edit Age when editing coaches from Edit Coach menu either on the front end or within Dynasty (if you can edit at all during Dynasty, you may not be able to).
