A New Start: Coaching Legacy of Jerome Turner (NCAA 14)

[ClutchFrame47]

Introduction
Welcome to the Coaching Legacy of Jerome Turner. Recently, I was brought back into playing NCAA 14 after watching a few college spring games. This time I was determined to make it work and after resetting my rosters, sliders, and other details, I started again from scratch. I spent a week or two making sure the rosters and sliders that I st up were efficient, and now I've started a new dynasty that I am sure will last. So be ready for a long, hard, and realistic dynasty. No national championships within 2 years, no jumping from one college to the next, just a real, accurate, and detailed coaching career. As I realize most of you have just skipped this, I will just start the fun. Side Note: Much of the layout and design was heavily inspired by this dynasty here

Rules

Strict house rules, No swerving with left stick, no four verts, no user switch-picks, everything I can do to keep it realistic, I do.

Recruiting:
-20 Recruits Allowed On Board
-No removing or adding players, even after commitment
-Scholarships= 2X the number of wins from previous season. (Simulates the fact that the better a school does, the more recruits they bring in)
-10 recruits may be 1* better than school prestige. Any recruits that are 2*'s over school prestige count as 2 off of the 10.

Coaching Carousel

As many know, the coach prestige system is far too rapid and screws up the whole carousel thing that EA has got going. So, I've created my own prestige system that levels my coach slower. The system is lined up so that you start off as an F OVR. F= 1* and 2* Schools, D= 3* Schools, C= 4* Schools, B= 5* Schools, and A= 6* Schools. For every 4 years as a coach, you gain a grade. For every 20 wins, you get a point of a grade. EX: Coach is a C-, wins 20th game, goes to a C. Every 10 wins vs rivals, another point of a grade. 5 Wins vs top 25, another point. A bowl win is worth a point, and a BCS bowl is worth two. National Championship is a full grade. On top of this, every time you switch schools, it costs you a whole grade.

So to recap:

You get a point of a grade (C to C+) for;
-Every 20 Wins
-10 Wins vs. Rivals
-5 Wins vs top 25
-Bowl Game win

You get two points of a grade (C- to C+) for:
-Winning a BCS Bowl
-Finishing in the top 25
-Conference Championship
-Coach of the Year Award

Full grade (C to B) for:
-4 years of coaching
-National Championship
-Top 10 Recruiting Class

If you didn't follow that, I'll explain as needed, but I will be keeping track consistently. Anyways enough of that boring stuff, I will post a few placeholders and then reveal the team Coach Turner will be taking over.

"Get Ready, 'Cause Here We Come!"

"Banners like this, displaying motivational sayings and quotes, were sprawled around campus today after Florida Atlantic University's athletic director, Patrick Chun, made a big announcement today. After a 3-9 season in 2012, FAU has decided to hire a new head football coach, Jerome Turner, to take over for the 2013 season. The Owls, who haven't had a winning season since a two-season spurt in 2007-2008, finally seem to be ready to turn the program around, and bring tradition to Boca Raton, Florida."

I chose FAU for a few reasons. One, Florida is a great state to find recruits and build a program. Two, I wanted an interesting start, not just a lose-only school like GA State or Idaho. I want it to be interesting to read. Three, FAU has a strong defense, which I always strive to find or build. Having a good foundation of defenders will aid in recruiting and make some interesting games. Team Preview up next.
