So, the only difference would be recruiting pitches, and how much the players advance. On the field, in-game they are nearly exactly the same. That's a problem. There needs to be ratings to further differentiate these two coaches. And if not ratings, the playbooks should be more unique and/or they need more in depth philosophy sliders.

The difference between Alabama and EMU is mostly the quality of players. Stick Nick Saban at EMU this year and Ron English at Bama and see how they do. The main influence of the coaches is in recruiting and playcalling, and those are both covered in the game. I could see perhaps some awareness bump based on OC, DC, and HC stats, but it's hardly a game breaker IMO.
