I remember seeing that as well, and I hope that isn't the case all of the time. I will say, BYU's Bronco Mendenhall is currently at 9% Job Security because they went like 2-10 or something their first season. Not sure if he'll get fired their second season, but it'll be interesting to see if he does.
In my dynasty Bronco was fired last year after three losing seasons. Currently Mack Brown is at 20% approval but every year he has been on the block and every year he has been saved. His contract expires at the end of this season. He could be in trouble... In other interesting news, Saban has had a bad year 5-5 currently and his job security has taken a beating.Quote:

On an interesting note, the SEC is not the power conference, it's the BIG 12. Oklahoma and Oklahoma St are the premier programmes in my game. Stoops is 48-3 over four years!!!
Minor frustration with CC.... stupid job offers ~! I'm the head coach at CAL, why are you offering me OC positions in the WAC and Sun Belt???
Well, at least Mack stayed in if not at Texas. :DQuote:

Maybe not as stupid as offering the OC position of a Sun Belt school to the Cal head coach, but stupid job offers do happen.
Oooh... forgot to mention my CAL defense was beastly (#1 in the nation). My two DT'S decided to go to the draft then seniors graduated... I have lost my starting 3CB's, my FS, my DE, RE, MLB,ROLB,LOLB... On defense only my Strong Safety is returning as a starter!!! I have NEVER seen that before. My team has went from an A- to a C ovr.
Ouch.
That is going to hurt next season.
I'm really enjoying the CC right now. Definitely improvements to be made but overall a really good base. I know a lot of people are complaining about a disconnect between the sides of the ball but when does a DC/OC actually get to watch the offense/defense. He's usually scheming with his other coaches or in the press box going through what will work on the next series.
A couple notes from my dynasty:
1. I coached ULM to the Orange Bowl and won in 2014. After this, I was offered the LSU job and accepted. Pitt is my alma mater but I didn't get offered that job, probably because Todd Graham has gotten up to A+ prestige and seems to be meeting his goals. This is kind of interesting to me. I am glad that there isn't some blanket rule that you'll get your alma mater job. I probably should have adjusted sliders after this year but chose not to in hopes the SEC would be stiffer competition (my Orange Bowl opponent wasn't really all that tough).
2. I then went undefeated with LSU in 2015. My opponent in the BCS Championship Game was Penn State. Interestingly, when I got into the game they had an old coach in a suit. I thought it might be Joe Paterno but since everybody here said he retired almost immediately I thought it could be somebody else. I went in and checked after the game and lo and behold it was Paterno. He's still got 2 more years on his contract, too.
3. I have encountered some sort of issue where I am losing trophies. I don't know why they weren't saved but I lost the Golden Boot trophy and the SEC championship trophy. This kind of bums me out because I really enjoy collecting these. I can't imagine I will be changing teams for a good long while so I suppose I will have chances to get them back, though!
The ALMA MATER thing is very interesting. I "blew" my chance last year when I signed with CAL. Now the new INDIANA coach is doing decent and I don't see that job opening for the next little while anyways. Plus, after a ton of player losses I have a massive recruiting class (#9 overall plus I added TEXAS and CANADA as NEW pipelines). As a result I am starting season FIVE as #2 overall in the nation and an early favourite for the National Championship. I have to see where this will take me so for the next two years at least I am committed to CAL.Quote:

Make sure you save your profile...if you don't have autosave on, this could be the issue. If not, then it sounds like a glitch. Hope this helps.
Yeah man that is exactly the issue. I don't have autosave on because it bogs everything down even worse than normal. My profile just didn't save I suppose. I'm going to be especially unhappy if I just lost all the player awards (I had a ton this season including the Heisman).Quote:

I decided to retire from the OD. I am going to create a new dynasty for offline play. I wasn't particularly fond of waiting so long to advance from week to week and what not and the primary reasons I started my single player dynasty online was to see the highlights which always seem to get corrupted and freeze anyway and to recruit online which also has stability issues for me. Also, now I will get to see the carousel in all its glory!
Yeah, recruiting has been a lot better this year, but I still ran into some stability issues that cost me hours and kept me from spending any time on 3-5 recruits in TGT Coach Mode OD. EA definitely still has work to do when it comes to web recruiting. As for me, I made the same decision with my FIU dynasty. I was only in week 3 when I found out how un-awesome the carousel was online as compared to offline, plus some other issues. So I just decided to ultimately make my flagship dynasty for 12 an offline dynasty.Quote:

So far ive been offered the DC at Kansas and the DC at UCLA in different seasons. I will complete all of my goals maybe except one. (win 8 games)
Still a D coach prestige.
I wish I would have done the same. I took me until 2016 to do that. The trophies being lost (which is admittedly my fault) and the highlights I couldn't upload time and time again really sticks in my craw. I like to have those things to remember the dynasty by. Still, though, a 5-6 year dynasty in that time frame isn't bad.
I decided to start as the OC of Army in my new one and just sim out the season. I'll start playing when I get the first HC job. The problems with super sim have turned me off from being a coordinator but I want the team I get to as a HC to be chance rather than my choosing.
I know what you mean. My offense is absolute dreadful, and my kicker (80 overall) missed 1-4 FG (2 were inside 30 yards) and an XP in the same game.Quote:

It's a shame these minor issues can't be fixed each year because I am sure the developers knew about it.
I love CC, I just wish we could hit Watch Game when we're not playing and not have to hit the RB button every play. I just finished my first season as OC at :Idaho: and my offense was #1 in passing... :D #120 in rushing... and #1 overall.
I had some Head Coaching offers from :FAU: and OC offers from :Baylor: and :Arkansas_State: as well as a HC offer at :Western_Kentucky: but I turned them all down. My team is coming along just fine and I am hoping my HC leaves and I can take over! :D
I am also super pleased in my dynasty that :Texas_Tech: is 4-10 in two years and Tommy Tuberville has a rating of 44% job security. Serves those fuckers right for fucking over Mike Leach!!! Now... if only Tech would suck that bad in real life... :D
It is becoming clearer and clearer that the BIG 12 is the power conference in this game year. OKLAHOMA (STOOPS) is now 58-3 with three N.C.'s Oklahoma St has 1 N.C. but is in the top 10 every year. Kansas is a huge top 15 power now. The SEC has done little other than AUBURN with one N.C. (over Fresno St.) and ALABAMA and FLORIDA are pretty bad (.500 teams). Other than USC the PAC 12 is pretty average but since Washington has gone to RUN AND SHOOT they have greatly improved.
Other unique observations:
Washington St has lost 21 straight games (as an option team)
OHIO (under Casteel) is now ranked in the 20-25 range iand has started to bring in great recruiting classes
BOISE St really struggles in the MWC...
OKLAHOMA is undefeated at home in the last 61 games!!!
Ohio St is a 99 ovr in year FIVE of dynasty yet they just lost at home to Toledo!?!?
Just played Arizona St... where is the balance 48 passes and 5 runs???
I find it funny that the Big12 is the power conference in your game, I've simmed ahead 4 years and the Title Game never featured a Big 12 team, but has featured some unlikely choices, mainly NC State and UCF.Quote:
