I firmly believe that none of those are even close to attainable.

Oh well I have 3 years...right?

That's what UT fans want within the first 3 years from their coaches, thats what everyone in the SEC wants and/or expects (most fans in that conference think their conference is the toughest out there, b/c of their team, regardless of the fact that they aren't LSU, Bama, or UF fans)

For those that say he deserved to be fired, the game was stacked unfairly against him given that stupid 'Beat a 5 or 6 Star Program' goal. That goal is completely unrealistic. A more realistic goal would be to beat a Top 25 or Top 10 team, but even that wouldn't be realistic at all for a 2-star Buffalo program.

Realistic goals for any team below 4 stars would be:

1. Have a winning record.
2. Play in a bowl game.
3. Beat rival X.

As the team progresses to 4 stars and up, the goals should be increased to say, Win X number of games, Win (not just play in) a bowl game, beat a Top 25 or Top 10 team, win conference championship, etc.

Beating a 5 or 6-star team is so unrealistic for Buffalo that if they did it, not only would the coach not get fired, but they'd probably put up a statue of him outside the stadium.
Agree about the 5 or 6 star goal being unrealistic. I'm playing as Indiana and don't even have that goal:

1. Beat Purdue
2. Play in a Bowl Game
3. Beat Michigan

Guess my AD don't give a crap if I beat Ohio St or Penn St. I've already beat Michigan and have a record of 5-4, so one more win and I'm bowl eligible.

Still, he should have been fired for only completing 1 of 9 goals and never beating his rival.

Re: They Fired Me

You know, you can also create a new coach and just take over Buffalo again. But it looks like you've moved on to greener pastures.

After I've played 5-9 years at a school I switch to a 1* team. In this game and 09 I've probably done that around 8 times and I've never seen "Beat a 5-6 prestige team" or anything ridiculous. It's always "Beat xxxxx" (with x being the rival), "Have a winning record" and usually "Receive a bowl bid" (which goes with the 2nd goal). Guess I'm lucky.


Anyways I believe you could accept a job somewhere else, go to "Coach Positions" under "Dynasty Setup" and choose to quit that job. You should then be able to pick a coaching job anywhere you want, just pick Buffalo. That way you will be able to go back there and continue building it up. I used that technique in the last game because I had like 5 more years on my contract and my school was already good so wanted to switch to a bottom team.

They don't even play eachother this year IRL. Nor did they play last year... Or the year before that.

I guess the OP set them in with the custom schedule... But I don't see how they game would recognize it as a rivalry.
