Good question. I've been wanting to make a 1* TeamBuilder team and start as the HC there.

Through multiple dynasties to answer your question yes its possible. I routinely start with Akron (OC) and usually the very next year progress to a 2-3* OC and typically in my 3rd year is when I get the first HC job offers of teams that are decent. The earliest ive been offered a major job was in fact 3rd year and it was the HC of Oregon.

I have found that typically in year 4 is when a lot of the "good" jobs will open up as it seems a lot of the major BCS schools have 4 year contracts to start off with.

Head Coach. I was an offensive coordinator at Oregon State the year before.

I started as the OC at Memphis for one season. From there I spent one year each as OC at Hawai'i and Mizzou easily surpassing all of my goals. I was hired as HC at Oregon, game froze, I re-did it and UO hired someone else so I took the OC job at Texas. Stayed there for two seasons, with a NC and a Heisman winner in the first season, before going back to Mizzou as the HC. In five seasons I won two conference championships (in the Big Ten) and a national title. Alabama (my alma mater) fired Saban after a 10-4 season (they had won the NC just a few years prior) and hired me.

So all together it took me ten seasons to get the job I wanted.

After my 3rd season as OC at MTSU, I got head coach offers from Iowa, Northwestern, Syracuse, Virginia, Iowa State, Ole Miss, and half a dozen small schools. Took the Syracuse job because it seemed like the biggest rebuilding job of the bunch. Still there in yr 5.
