I would rather have coaching affect recruiting more than progression. In that sense, an OC or DC can still have an impact regardless if you're the head coach. Plus you could always attempt to upgrade your coordinators if one is slacking.

No, I think you're right but I was think they would still be there. Not a big deal but it would be kinda cool to see my DC go on to be a head coach somewhere else.Originally Posted by souljahbill
Basically OC/DC are only in the game because we the USER may wish to start as an OC/DC. Other than that there is ZERO use to them other than say movingh up to be a head coach at a cpu controlled school. This is definetely a big feature for future years though.
How would your coordinators be slacking if you control the O and the D? If your team is not playing well, you as the HC, would be slacking, not the OC/DC.

I think there are still OC/DC when you are HC. But if you are a guy will have a Custom Playbook for both Off and Def, OC/DC for team are there to be there. But I will like to give them my playbooks and face them in the future. I plan on starting as a OC, but will have a Def playbook with me. So it wont matter who my team signs. But I will give them my playbook
HB, this is a large concern for me with Wisconsin State as well as you probably know. To my understanding from what I've read here and elsewhere, you can choose to be the head coach of any team at the start of dynasty - so you could choose to be head coach of NSU at the start of dynasty - HOWEVER (and this is what bums me out), you CAN NOT get back to your school by just creating a new coach once you leave - so if your coach is fired, retires, or leaves for another job, there is no way to get back in control of NSU without working back up to getting hired there. This is a bummer to me (and I'm sure you too), because I want to have coaching changes for my school, but also want to have other schools change coaches and styles - it's a bummer, but it looks like we'll be stuck with having CC off (or at least that's the way I'm going if what I understand is correct), and having all the other schools keep their same coaches for the eternity of the dynasty.
The only thing you MAY have to worry about is getting fired. If your coach isn't 80, I doubt they'll retire and why would you leave your school in the first place? Isn't the point of your dynasties is to stay at the place the entire time? I don't know how you guys play your games but have either of y'all ever been fired during any dynasty in any game?HB, this is a large concern for me with Wisconsin State as well as you probably know.

I bet nobody on this site who plays the game as much as the "hardcore" members do has ever been fiired in the history of NCAA games. I am always at 100% approval because it's almost impossible not to be. I have never lost more than four games in one season... ever. But hey maybe this year it will be a lot more challenging to meet your school's goals???
I think users will definitely lose some games this year in Dynasty. Especially being a OC/DC for a Bad team. Even if you are a great Coordinator, if you are a 1* OC, your defense or offense(if DC) will let you down alot.
Yes, I have been fired once - after going 0-24 after my first two seasons on NCAA 10. It's not just getting fired, though. I want coaches to come and go realistically. From going to new jobs to retiring - like I said. For example, my current head coach is Scott Frost. If he got an offer from Nebraska (alma mater), I'd probably have him accept that job for the sake of realism, and hire a new coach from the coaching carousel, and want to continue on as that coach. If I could create a coach mid-dynasty, and have him take over after my current coach leaves, I could still do that. I am currently in 2029 (between NCAA 10 and 11), so Frost would be 54, and probably ready to retire in 10-15 years. When I come to that point, I want to be able to have him "retire" and hire a new coach while staying with my program. I strive for realism, and that's what I want to achieve here, while staying with one program.
I know HB does something similar, and has had a number of losing seasons over the ~125 season of his dynasty. I know he has "fired" coaches, but whether the game fired them, or he manually decided to make a "coaching change", I'm not certain.

Joshua already hit this, but for the sake of realism, coaches come and go. One thing Joshua didn't mention that we have talked about before is making a change to keep the dynasty fresh. After a few seasons of running the option and I want something different, I can make a coaching change to a coach who runs an air attack. For the few of us that keep running with the same team by 'transferring' them into the new game we like to make changes like this to keep the game new and fresh.
And yeah, I have been fired from my school and I have made a few coaching changes.
From the info released so far I can see where the concern comes from regarding coaches retiring or being fired and not being able to create new head coaches within a Dynasty. Maybe the scenario never came about when the community day guys played with this new feature. I mean if I'm picking a team like Penn State and I'm keeping Joe Paterno as my head coach and then the game has him retire after just 2 seasons, and I have no ability to continue being the head coach with my Penn State team in Dynasty I would be very upset. I definitely think some more clarification is needed regarding this specific scenario.

The CC was never a big time thing to me since I stay at the same school all the time. But it's neat to see coaches move on to other jobs or see old coaches I used after their time with NSU. It's not a deal breaker but still disappointing you cannot create a new coach or take the reins after another one has been hired.
Yeah - I'm a little bummed. I guess the biggest thing for me was seeing the other coaches move from jobs and bring new schemes with them, especially when a tradition power starts to stink over the course of multiple seasons. Bring in a new coach with a new scheme to try and revive the program. Not a deal breaker on the game, but I don't think I'll be using it unless I can create a coach mid-dynasty and have him take over as HC at any program.
Well, simply put, it's no Joe Paterno. All the coaches are generics. Yes, you can change the name but it's still the same generic coach. And second, your coach will not retire regardless of age because if memory serves it was stated on another site that you will ALWAYS have a job each year of the full dynasty. You may be released by your team but you will be picked up by someone else.
I must be misunderstanding. How do you fire your coach? In ALL next gen versions of NCAA YOU are the coach. You can quit and find a new team or you can be fired and find a new team... what am I missing here???
You just go create a new coach from the menu, resign the job with your current coach, take the job with your new coach, and delete the old coach. Boom, coaching change.
OR, If you have an inkling you might be fired, create a new coach just prior to the end of the season. If you do get fired, just take a job with him in the mean time, and quickly assign your new created coach to the school you want to be at. Resign and delete the other coach, and proceed.
Oh okay, I get what you mean now. I have always moved with my coach but I can see the merit in your way as well.
But I can edit the coaches before we start Dynasty mode including their age and yes some people want realism at the start of their Dynasty so they will try to make Joe Pa as close to real life as possible. The only thing that I saw stated is what happens when a coach is fired and that is you will always have a job offer so you won't have to re-start a Dynasty if you don't want to. However, I said we need clarification on this specific scenario of a coach retiring and wanting to continue on with the same team as a new head coach and nothing has been stated on that matter that I have seen.
Didn't you the edit you put in, but bingo. Just adds a ton of ownership in the team that you have created.
