Re: What are your best dynasty stories?
In all my dynasties I "climb the ladder" if you will, start off as an OC. I'm a big time offensive guy. My favorite team is Boise State, but I never pick them because they're too good, I prefer to build a program.
Year 1 I'm an OC at Idaho. We go 7-5, NO BOWL GAME. What a ripoff!
Get a better offer and become OC Colorado state. Spend 1 year there and we go 8-4, win our bowl game (can't remember, may have been Poinsettia). That year I had the #3 scoring offense with around 42 PPG, #20 something passing and #30 something rushing. That year Boise won the national championship.
Again get a new offer... THE Ohio State University. I am not an Ohio State fan AT ALL, but its good experience. Spend one year as an OC there under Urban, undefeated national champs. Played against Boise State, in their 2nd straight national championship run to win 55-45. Bittersweet to beat your favorite school lol. #1 scoring offense with 50+ PPG, #3 passing with around 350 a game, #20 rushing with about 200 a game or so, averaged nearly 600 yards of offense a game. Clearly, this season was a MAJOR boost on my skill tree.
Get my first head coaching offer at Umass and take it. My skill tree was built and I had an "A" prestige after the Ohio State gig. I got offers from bigger schools but it felt unrealistic to make that leap with no HC experience.
Spent 2 years at Umass, 6-6 (no bowl, 2 AA opponents) and 8-4, with some rinky dink bowl win. As luck would have it, Boise faced a sharp decline after the Ohio State loss in the national championship. 7-5, then 4-8.
I spent one more year at Umass and compiled their first FBS 10 win season, MAC champions. Lost the bowl game to a mid level team from a power 5...cant remember anymore.
Boise State that year? 2-10. 7-5, 4-8, 2-10...they said enough is enough and let the coach go! Since I picked them as my alma mater, I got the offer.
I took over a Boise program that had plummeted to 78 overall and 3 stars.
Its still my longest running dynasty. Cant let the dream job go! 7 years into the job, 5 national titles (last 4 in a row). Now in the BIG 12 conference. I don't play it much because even with the sliders all changed its not too challenging. Plus with all those titles and extra BCS money I wish I could modify things...like expand the stadium etc etc. Kind of unrealistic to win so many titles and be a 6 star program...with a stadium that seats 37k.
