That sucks..well it will be alright I guess

I just got fired after two seasons with Northern Illinois! Just two! I have great sliders and the game is realistic so Im lovin it but I just didnt think I should of been fired. I was 6-7 with a bowl apperance in my first year and then 3-9 my 2nd year. I pull in a few 3 stars my first year which is solid for NIU. Then my 2nd year I had 4 4-star players committed and a 5 star real close (ended up going to Oregon after I was fired) so I thought I had done a good job rebuilding after my first year when we lost a bunch of seniors. I even landed Antonio Henton via the transfer from Ohio State (guess he hadn't transferred to GSU yet). I was expecting a monster year my 3rd year and I knew my 3rd year would be a make or break. Well, I got fired before it so I bring in all these recruits to fit my style and all the time I put in, for nothing.

But all is not lost, when I advanced to open jobs, Duke, Navy, and Stanford wanted me. STANFORD. To me, I thought California is a huge state with a bunch of prospects I can win there. So now Im happily at Stanford. Its going to be tough competing with the likes of USC in the Pac-10 and in the state of California, but its a perfect storm as well. So far Ive only locked up a 4-star 250LB MLB that is a stud. Im in the running for a few real good late pickups at WR and apparently we have a real good QB who will just be a Soph next year.

I posted this to just give my story and tell you that I LOVE THIS GAME. I was PISSED when I got shafted at NIU but ending up at Stanford, Im really fueled to work my butt off and make them into a national contender and pound down those Huskies at NIU. I now hate them and plan to try to schedule a game in 2-3 and run the score up on my recruits. They must've had high expectations and I just didnt meet them so I was fired. I love how realistic this felt and Im ready to play some more! Who is ever happy being fired?!?!

It does suck to be fired but I usually find those first two years of a program can be the most fun as you try to build the program. You can do the same thing at Stanford and the PAC 10 should be fun. Good luck at Stanford and make sure you schedule NIU next year as a rivalry game!

I did have a blast building them up. I know they will do very well this year and it will hurt me to see that. I just cant wait to pound them in the ground to nothing!

I have to say, I've never been fired before. When you're fired, do teams of your prestige and lower offer you, or anyone?

when you get fired you lose a star of prestige. all teams equal or lower than your prestige after being fired you can go to.
