Because NCAA 11 you could get fired too

If you can't get fired there's nothing really there as far as what's at stake if you lose it's just "win as much as you can no consequences"

I want consequences for losses I just don't want 7 years of slush first

OP doesn't like Coaching Carousel for all the reasons I do.

Sure, you might get fired (or hired out) of a school that has all "your players," and then held accountable for the product that "someone else's players" put out at your new job.

But guess what? This happens all the time. ALL. THE. TIME. In real life. That's college football.

Your job is to do the best with what you inherit and recruit the players to run the system you want to run until you get fired or hired to a new job.

I haven't received the game yet but its being shipped. You can turn coaching contracts off so that you cannot get fired? That would help me take a 1* team to the championship with no threat of being fired...

Why would you get fired for turning them into a championship team?

No I hear that...

In last year's game you win with who's there when you get there and if they don't win you get out... the first 2 years or so are a craps shoot until your first FR are ready to see the field...

When you take a new job you accept that you are embarking on another 2 year period

But with Carousel how long is this period?

8 years? IDK I haven't been in that far yet... plus it's arbitrary

I got fired from UL Laf. for going 7-5 and rehired by Army for going 4-8...

I don't want to jump right to my dream job but maybe that's the answer to start as them with contracts off which seems lame

[Pogo27]

Perhaps some schools are different with how patient they're willing to be.

And besides, different schools have different expectations. UL Lafeyette is usually one of the better Sun Belt teams. You play 8 conference games and should probably be competing for the conference championship. 6-2 or 7-1 in conference should be easily attainable, and that means winning only 1 or 2 non-conference. And if you can't do that, maybe you're not the coach they want at ULL.

But what can I do as a sim user if I schedule ULL with 3 FCS opponents and they only go 7-5... not my fault... that's the game's sim engine then...

But OK if everyone likes it I'll drop it... I'm just starting to regret trading in my NCAA 11 for this game... Dynasty is not as good to me

If you're simming... you're not even coaching. I mean, when you sim, you gotta just take what the computer gives you and not complain, really..
