Re: Five Toughest NCAA Football 09 Dynasty Jobs

Thanks guys. Here are the other teams that just barely missed the cut.

Baylor, Vanderbilt, Iowa State, UNLV, San Jose St, Rice, SMU, Eastern Michigan, Florida International

Have you ever tried Wyoming or Hawaii?

I'll agree with Duke being #1. It is hard not to get fired unless you are playing all the games.

North Texas is hard? No way. Small schools in California, Texas, Florida, and Ohio are simple to turn into powerhouses. Your recruit pool is so deep that other teams in your conference can't keep up.

I hope that someday this gets recoded to better reflect reality. Its gotten better over that last couple years, but I think it should be much,much harder to turn weaker schools into powerhouses even if they are in a talent rich state.

I know you guys don't want to make it too difficult for users to take their scrubby school and make them a juggernaut, but I would like to see a realistic recruiting difficulty level where getting a one star team to a 4 star team would be extremely difficult and quite an accomplishment. Getting that team to a 5 or 6 star prestige, should be almost impossible IMO.

Funny you should mention that, I have done both. I think with prestige, you can get a few decent recruits but you do bring up a great point.

Wyoming sucks recruiting in state as does Hawaii. But all recruiting outside of Hawaii is ultra expensive. I would say both of those jobs are pretty tough just based on the recruiting aspect of things. Wyoming was probably my hardest job ever in NCAA Football next to Temple.

Cool this gives me some good ideas about who to use in my 09 dynasty.

With Hawaii's system it's much easier to put up huge stats and attract QBs & WRs

Plus Hawaii is on a different level prestige-wise than Wyoming

I'm sure you just mean it isn't hard in ncaa, right?

One thing that has annoyed me to no end about playing as a small school is that the CPU only looks at overall record and such when making the decision to fire you or keep you around. I know this would be extremely hard but it would be nice to see them take into account the experience and depth of your team, how you've done in recruiting, amongst other things.

Yea i agree istshould be very difficult to turn around these programs even if it's a football talented state. One thing i don't like about playing with a small school is that when your're doing in season recruiting it seems unrealistic that you would even be the last school on a 5 star recruit list competing with 4,5,and 6 star schools. No recruit is not going to be intrested in Texas, Texas A&M, Oklahoma, ............ Rice. WTF?

I had the same problem playing with Toledo before. After a 8-5 season with a bowl loss I absolutely dominated OH and PA in recruiting, taking everything away from Ohio State, Penn State, etc. It was weird. I got the #6 class in the nation.

I wonder though, are you just picking the five worst teams, or are these just the five toughest coaching challenges given the expectations. So could we find a team that's really bad but has either lower expectations for coaches or is in good recruiting territory?
