Then I got my dream job as HC of Michigan and I've been there ever since (2022-2034 so far).

I like the house rules you're using. When you play as OC, do you recruit? Do you use whatever style playbook you want? When you go to HC do you use the OC's playbook or do you still use your own?

I wasn't an OC for long but I didn't do any recruiting (which was rough as that's my favorite part of the game, but I figured that's more of a HC thing). That's also one of the main reasons why I jumped to a HC so soon (the other was because in my spreadsheet I only track my win/loss record as a HC so I wanted to start keeping track).

I always use my own PB.

So when you are an OC, you leave the recruiting board assistance ON, and take it off when you move to HC, correct?

Yep.

I decided as OC to only use the playbook for the school I was it. My initial goal was to switch schools often, but since I was actually recruiting my own players, I gave up switching schools so I could play with the guys I had recruited.

I may be totally overlooking this but, where is coach mode? I currently have a dynasty going where im the OC of Indiana in 2017, can i turn on coach mode somewhere in the existing dynasty? Or am i going to have to start a whole new dynasty?
Also, does anyone have a good slider set for coach mode?
I've been just watching CPU vs CPU games in my dynasty, but im tired of 1) the ridiculous run/pass inbalance and 2) the crazy high rate of called screen passes by the OC.

You don't need to restart. Whenever you start a game you can choose what it'll be from the same screen where you pick your playbooks (I think the option is "Game Type" or something similar). The 3 types are Normal (or something similar), 1 button, and Coach. Select coach from there and you're in coach mode.

Oooohh Thanks Jello!
Guessing I'll have to find a gig as a head coach tho to solve the crappy offensive playcalling tho (Im currently a DC)
