Jo Pa's Head is on The Chopping Block...

[Milkmoney11]

...in my dynasty. He's got a 31% approval rating which is the worst in the NCAA.

It's only my 2nd season but to big name coaches get axed a lot or do they have more leeway then a young coach?

Boy, talk about unrealistic.

I would say no to the second part.. Its a computer.. they just go by the numbers.

And Joe Pa made it out of the first season? In every dynasty I have played he has retired after year one.

[Milkmoney11]

Yeah...he's there. Actually...I just went and checked and he's up to a 37% ranking now. He's the 4th worst.

So, I thought, he must have won his last game to make his percentage go up. I checked that, and the worst part is...get this...THEY ARE 8-0!

This was probably discussed in that long thread about coaching carousel that I didn't read. Whatever...

yeah there is something wrong with that i can almost accept penn state easing him out if he was 0-8 but he is 8-0 that is unacceptable
the carousel is not very realistic at all

We're actually in our third season and he had a terrible approval rating last year (I was kind of hoping to jump into the OC job). After all was said and done, he didn't leave. This was after a year that they finished last in the B1G and got demoted to the Big East because of it (running a personalized promotion relegation setup). Seems like that would have been the year to go

In my third season JoPa had the lowest HC rating and I was sure he'd get fired. But, in the off-season, when I see the Penn State job open, it says he "retired".

They gave him an honorable out!

I just finished up my fourth year and Joe Pa got canned. So did the offensive coordinator at Penn State. I have seen a lot of high profile coaches being fired in the first four seasons. Mac Brown got fired this off season. Jimbo Fisher, Les Miles, Will Muschamp and many others that I can't think of at this moment.

But what I don't get is how the heck do I get a offer? I played out my initial contract at SMU 3 years and met all my categories. I got 0 offers for any other position and it showed two positions open. SMU and TCU. I looked at both and neither was interested in my as HC. So I accept my offer of 2 years and some insane categories to reach. Somehow I reach all of them in the first year of the deal win our second national championship(back to back). I go into the off season and once again not a single offer made to me. We have won two national championships won the big 12 a few times and I think only lost 5 games in that span. No bigger program wants to offer me a job? what's up with that.
