How is your dynasty going

Re: How is your dynasty going

I just capped off my 2nd season as a HC in my Coaching Career dynasty, finishing 12-1 (8-1) with UNC in 2019. We appeared to be national championship bound at one point, however a crushing loss in double overtime 41-38 to Virginia Tech spoiled the season for the Tar Heels and ended any hopes of a conference championship as well.

Below, you can find the history of this dynasty to date. I have a very good squad returning for next year, led by my Heisman Trophy candidate at running back (2,800 yards and 36TD through his first two seasons).

Bio: When Coach Sportsbuck came to UNC, he was in need of a dual threat quarterback to run his spread attack, however he inherited a roster full of pocket QB's. He found a diamond in the rough in the form of Powers, who was buried at WR but had servicable passing abilities. Utilizing his legs to set up the rest of the offense, Powers helped to lead the Tar Heels to an 18-2 record as a starting QB and finished as the runner-up for the Heisman Trophy as a senior. He missed 7 games as a junior with a leg injury, so it's impossible to know just how successful he might have been then too.

Re: How is your dynasty going

I gotta ask, how did you find out all your coaching offers? Did you save and go back or is there a way to go back that i dont know about yet during the coaching offseason?

I save a file before I look through my Coaching offers. I look through all my options and go back and choose the best fit for me.

It's down to or

I can't decide yet.

Re: How is your dynasty going

In Year 1 as the OC at Duke playing on Hiesman

Currently we're 8-0 (4-0) after escaping Virginia Tech 27-24 on a last second field goal

I'm level 7 on the coaching tree

We run the read option mostly, with QB Anthony Boone and Running Backs Jela Duncan and Josh Snead.. Boone is a Hiesman candidate with 153/236 roughly 1600 Yards on 11 TD/ 7 INT and 190 Carries, 1274 Yards and 10 TD's.. We're up to 6th in the polls despite the close games recently (35-33 Win at UVA and 27-24 win at VT).. We lead the country in scoring at 42 PPG..

On the recruiting side it's going well, found a gem from a 1 star SS, who has a 75 Rating, Landed the #3 QB in the class whos at 80, as well as a 4 star HB who's at 70.. I wish the game would stop setting up visits, they make them too early.. We got 13 recruits coming week 11, which i figure to be alot..

I'm surprised that playing on Hiesman we haven't lost, though Duke's early schedule up to VT is pretty winnable..

Re: How is your dynasty going

Finally, after playing numerous Dynasties, I finally win the BCS National Championships with Nebraska (11-1). Getting there involved a little luck as we were #3, with Cincinnati and South Carolina #1 and 2 respectively. The only Conf Championship game during the season was South Carolina and Alabama. Bama pounded the Gamecoks 52-20 to vault me to #2. I simulate flying down to Tuscaloosa to give Saban handpounds and man hugs for giving us an opportunity to play for a National Championship. We destroy Cincinnati 45-14.

I'm the OC for the Huskers, and the only HC job I was offered was North Texas and Wake Forest. I decide to stay at Nebraska, despite losing Taylor Martinez and some depth on defense.

You can set it up so the computer won't do any part of recruiting for you

Offseason Update

It's kswgrad2012 here, not David Sinclair. Just finished Season 2 of my Tulane dynasty. Didn't go as successful as I had hoped, but we'll improve for next year. Got some BIG news as far as recruiting is concerned, but I'll catch everyone up with some of the big news around the college football world as we ended the season.


Heisman Trophy
LSU RB Alfred Blue took home the Heisman Trophy this year.

2014 BCS National Championship
Oregon defeats Clemson, 37-31, to take home the Crystal Ball. RB DeAnthony Thomas is your Nat'l Champ MVP.

Other BCS Matchups
Rose Bowl: Utah defeats Nebraska, 39-35.
Sugar Bowl: Florida defeats SMU, 45-24.
Orange Bowl: LSU defeats Ohio State, 21-16.
Fiesta Bowl: TCU defeats ECU, 34-30.

Conference Champs
ECU wins Conference USA (def. Tulsa)
Clemson wins the ACC (def. Georgia Tech)
Florida wins the SEC (def. LSU)
Utah wins the Pac-12 (def. Stanford)
Bowling Green wins the MAC (def. Toledo)
Colorado State wins the Mountain West (def. Fresno State)
Nebraska wins the Big Ten (def. Wisconsin)
TCU wins the Big 12
SMU wins the Big East (aka "American")
Texas State wins the Sun Belt

FYI: I play my dynasty on NCAA 13 since I'm too broke to buy 14. Though the game refers to the Big East conference as "Big East", from here on out I will be consistent & refer to the new conference as "The American". You're welcome.


With all that out of the way, here's the final AP Poll for the season:

Re: How is your dynasty going

Just got double screwed over at the end of my first year as DC at UGA.

My HB #3 Todd Gurley had been leading all season every week for the Heisman. In his last game the SEC Championship vs. Bama he rushes for 150 yards no TD's not great but not terrible. He finishes the season with 1852 yards and 33 TD's rushing, 42 catches and 4 TD's receiving.

After we win the SEC championship beating undefeated Bama a screen pops up saying Braxton Miller has won the Heisman. He had a decent year no doubt with 2,796 Passing Yards and 25 TD's and 757 yards and 12 TD's rushing. Not bad. But 3rd place went to MY QB Christian LeMay who passed for 5,142 yards and 44 TD's and ran for another 200 yards and a TD. "Come On Mannnnn" LeMay won the O'Brien. Gurley won the Camp, Walker, and Maxwell. My star WR Malcom Mitchell with 84 REC for 1605 YDS and 17 TD's on offense and 42 Tackles and 3 INT's on D as nickleback wasn't even in the Heisman running. He just won the Belitnikoff.

I feel those results are a traveshamockery.

Not only that. But going into the SEC Championship the rankings were 1. Alabama (undefeated) 2. Ohio State (undefeated) 3. ULL (undefeated) and 4. UGA (1 loss opening week to Clemson)

Championship week OSU beat NEB, UGA beat AL, ULL was idle. Mind you ULL is rated 84 OVR and the only team in the top 25 all year was literally 25th ranked Boise State. After beating #1 Bama we moved up to #3 and they fell to #4. Idle ULL remained at #2 to play OSU for the BCS championship. You've got to be kidding me. Our points were equal at .992. We were invited to the Sugar Bowl to play #11 Temple.

No thanks. We're staying in Athens to protest. Temple can dress up their trophy case. We've had a custom made obsidian NC trophy put in ours as a dark reminder of the idiocy of the BCS. Needless to say ULL will be on the schedule next year and I want to hang 80 on their head.

Finished my first season by winning the Orange Bowl over Arizona. I lost both of my coordinators to head coaching jobs. One to Minnesota and I forgot where the other one is going. I'll finish recruiting but I'm into my connected franchise in Madden.

Re: How is your dynasty going

Signing Day!!!

So guys, I said I had a lot of big recruiting news to share. Well here it is!


To the surprise of man coaches across the country, Coach Kaelyn Willingham was able to assemble an amazing recruiting class, in just his second year with the program. The Green Wave recruiting class ranked 20th in the nation. That's right, TWENTY. This class includes FIVE 4-star players and 13 3-star players. Most notable recruit: 4-star QB Maurice Johnson, the No. 2 QB on ESPN's 150 list. He will enter what is expected to be a FOUR-way QB competition heading into the fall.

In addition to the QB, Willingham also convinced QB Tim Ashley to stay with the team. Ashley, who threatened to leave for Arkansas State due to playing time, realized that he actually did have a good shot to win the starting job due to his performance last season. With Orleans Darkwa graduating, Ashley returns as the leading rusher from last season, despite just 3 starts.

A week later, Coach finds out that former Oklahoma QB Trevor Knight has decided to transfer to Tulane. He will sit out the upcoming season, but if the QB situation continues to be unresolved, he could become a big factor going into 2015. In addition to Knight, former Tulsa WR Justin Atkinson has also decided to play for the Wave.

In addition to the QB's, Tulane's class includes 4* HB's Doug Clark and Nick Miles, 4* WR Justin Fountain, 3* TE Marshall Brown, 2 additional FB's and a solid core of offensive linemen.

While Coach Willingham added numerous pieces to his offense, he did add some notable pieces to his defense, a defense that ranked in the bottom five in the country last year in pass defense and overall defense. This includes 4* CB Shaun Powers and 3* DE Corey Walton. These guys are expected to contribute right away to ail a less-than-stellar pass defense.


Tulane's in-depth 2014 recruiting class can be found below. Enjoy!

QB

• Maurice Johnson, 4*, 71 OVR (-7 BUST)

HB

• Doug Clark, 4*, 66 OVR
• Nick Miles, 4*, 66
• Scott Moore, 3*, 62

FB

• Fred Roach, 1*, 64 OVR
• Marco Washington, 1*, 63

WR

• Justin Fountain, 4*, 69 OVR
• A.J. Wright, 3*, 63
• Randall Armstrong, 3*, 64

TE

• Marshall Brown, 3*, 72 OVR (+6 GEM)
• Kevin Hartman, 3*, 62

T

• Phil Maxwell, 3*, 65 OVR
• Antwan Harrison, 2*, 64 (+9 GEM)

G

• Jeff Smith, 3*, 67 OVR
• Nick Bradley, 3*, 66
• Charles Rogers, 2*, 61

C

• Clint West, 3*, 64

DE

• Corey Walton, 3*, 69 OVR

OLB

• Ross Fowler, 3*, 62 OVR (+6 GEM)
• Todd Carter, 2*, 62

CB

• Shaun Powers, 4*, 72 OVR
• T.J. Gray, 3*, 68
• Drew Watson (JUCO Soph), 3*, 69

Great Class! As Signing Day comes to a close, LSU, Oklahoma, Notre Dame, Arkansas and Michigan all had top-5 classes. WhileNew Mexico, Louisiana-Lafayette, Western Michigan, Buffalo and Eastern Michigan all round out the BOTTOM 5.

Surprises: The Purdue Boilermakers brought in the 9th best recruiting class. That's right, NINTH. WTH...????? At the same time, SEC powers South Carolina & Texas A&M each had the 80th & 84th ranked classes, respectively. WOW.....
