The Coaching Career of Mike Taylor Pt. 2 (NCAA 14)

[Icy4me]

Some of you might have followed my 2013 NCAA dynasty with New Mexico and I did couple of games with Cal (4th year), before I basically quit playing the game earlier this year. I really want to get over 10 seasons if possible, but we're see.

As, you can tell from the title, I will used the same coaching name as my previous dynasty (Mike Taylor). And I'm going to start out as the Ball State Cardinals. I was really considering doing New Mexico again, but I've always wanted to start an dynasty out as Ball State, so I deiced I will!

Lastly, I was allowing followers make a recruit in my past dynasty. So, I want to do the same for this dynasty. If you would like to be a recruit, please fill this out. One more thing, lol, I'm updating some of my templates, if not all, to make them look better.

MUNCIE, INDIANA. -- The Ball State Cardinals 2nd year coach Pete Lembo has resigned from the school, due to personal reasons, the school has said. Lembo led the Cardinals to a successful season, this past season having a 9-4 record, and making a bowl game, but losing to UCF. He had a record of 15-10 with the school.

The Cardinals choose to sign former high school coach Mike Taylor. Taylor was the coach for the California Bulldogs, who he coached for 5 years going 48-12. The past two seasons, he led the Bulldogs to two undefeated seasons and two state championships. The only details from the contract we know, so far is, he was signed for 4 years.

Taylor is known for his high tempo, spread like offense. Which he said, he will use in the college level.

"I will use my same offensive style, as I have with the Bulldogs. I will likely have to make adjustments to it, considering players are faster and stronger at this level."

"I plan on building off the success of Pete [Lembo], had this past season, and build the Cardinals into contenders for the MAC championship quickly. I'm also planning on giving Ball State their first Bowl win in school history." Ball State is 0-6 in bowl games in their school history. (If you followed my past dynasty, you may know, I went 0-3 in bowl games with New Mexico. So lets hope I can win one with Ball State, haha)

Game/Console: NCAA 14/360
Roster: M&B's Roster

Recruiting: Heisman, but I have some restrictions. I can only get certain number of recruits, by how many seniors are leaving + school prestige.

Example:
6 star = none
5 star = none
4 star = +3
3 star = +4
2 star = +5
1 star = +6

Game play: Heisman
Quarter Length: 9 Minutes
Slider set: Charter04's Heisman Set

House Rules:
1. I do not switch players on defense and I don't USER catch.

2. I do not mess with the in game adjustments, besides the tempo.

3. I will randomly pick five players from incoming recruiting class (With a Random Number Generator, I'll sort the recruits by overall and if a player is the 2nd best recruit and the RNG picks the number two then that is the player who is picked) and use the RNG to find out if he becomes a bust or a gem, if the RNG is under 50 he will lose points and if its over 50 he'll gain. It will be a 1-3 decrease and increase in overall.

Dynasty Info: For OS recruits, I will post updates on them every 3 weeks. Unless one of them has committed to a school, then I will show it for that week.

Speed Threshold: 50
Game Speed: Normal
