A Coaching Carousel would do wonders.

For schools like Florida and Auburn the answer to this question would be completely different. Not sure how to differentiate.

I'd say let the head coach decide the play style for the team. If an OC is hired as a head coach for a new team, then his play style is used. However, if that same OC is hired by a team as an OC still, then the head coach still has the decision. The OC can still retain his style for when he becomes a head coach and maybe he still affects player ratings depending on his strengths.

anybody have gamebreaker '00 for the psx? they had a career mode where you could start as a hc at a bad/average mid-major, a dc/oc at a good mid-major or bad/average bcs school, or a st coach at an elite school. you recruited based on your job title- st coach recruited kickers and punters, dc recruited defense, oc recruited offense, and hc recruited everything. if your team did well, you got better job offers; if not, you could get fired, or you could stay where you were. gamebreaker was an average game, but this feature was done very well. kinda sad that a game a decade ago had this feature, but a decade and 2 platform generations later, we're still waiting on ea to add this type of feature.

the Coaching Carousel is one of the main reasons why I enjoy College Hoops 2k8. I'm not a big Basketball fan at all, but Legacy mode is really fun.

For me, this the most needed feature for NCAA's dynasty mode. And, it's not even close.

Coaching Carousel was on that list they put out earlier. I will be seriously disappointed if it isnt.

I was excited to see this on a list of possible features, and I don't think it would be that hard to implement. I love the coaching carousel in College Hoops, as well as Head Coach.

this. just have it where you're able to designate the coaches (hc and coords) as offensive or defensive. if hc is off, then hc, if hc is def, then oc.

same with base d.

also, i love the idea of coaches gravitating to similar playing styles.

one more thing to add, and this is a must if they do a coach carousel, make sure that coaches wont downgrade their job status, unless fired.

i remember in the first nfl hc, you could hire other hc's to be oc and dc. this CANNOT happen.

and while i'm at it, can they be progressive (and regressive), please?
