    1* OC to 5* HC

    I wanna start off as an OC for a 1* and see how many seasons before I get offered a HC job at a 5* program. But I am having trouble picking a school to start out with. Any suggestions?

    I started mine 1* OC at New Mexico which was pretty good. They are one of the worst teams in the game but they have just enough talent at RB and a pretty decent QB that you can get away with a lot. I went 13-1 with them first year using a spread attack. Had to fight for every game though!

    Akron is a daunting task as well.

      I just had the same idea today, I started out with San Jose State, but I couldn't get into it. I'm also interested in the suggestions as well.

          UMass. Decent QB and that's it.

            Tulane. Great QB to start out with. Solid roster. Easy conference.

            I started out as an OC there, after 1 year my HC left and I was offered the job. Took it, and 3 years later I was taking the job at LSU after Les Miles got canned.

              Nice unis too. Did you use rosters and/or sliders?

                No, played on AA but used default sliders. I may need to look into some though.

                  Let me know if you find a good set.

                    I just did this, actually.

                    started with Army as a OC, went 7-5, got hired by UMass as a HC after 1 year, went 19-6 in two years there, moved up to 'Cuse, who are a 4 star team now.

                    it's fun, but once you max out your recruiting tree, it becomes pretty easy. i got the #7 class in the nation year 2 at UMass.

                      I started with UAB as the OC. They have a sophomore(rs) QB and RB duo that can lead your team for 3 years. The O-line is a mess so run short passes or risk sacks. The D will give up points but is young as well.

                      I play on varsity/varsity with all user sliders reduced 30 points except QBA at 0 and Pass Coverage at 100. The CPU sliders all got a 15 point increase expect QBA at 20, Pass Covg at 100, and INT at 40. I play on normal speed with threshold at 60. I feel like you could edit this set to a point that fits your style of play.

                      Follow the link in my signature to see my dynasty thread. You can see the year I had at UAB before leaving.

                        Hmmm maybe I could set the coach progression to slow

                          I started at WYO as OC (i think they were a 2* tho, not 1 if you are only looking for 1*). After 1 season and a bowl win, i jumped to HC at EMU (1*). Won 10 games in season 2 @ EMU. Season 3, i started by losing the opener at the big house in a nail biter but ran the table after that on the way to a Sugar Bowl birth vs MIA (i got waxed). Had a 5* offer from Auburn (they went 1-11) after that, but i passed and took 4* Zona instead (i went to Bama and bleed crimson. I could not bring myself to take that job... lol)

                            I'd say start with ODU, newer school, solid young players and decent unis

                              Started as the OC at 2* Maryland. Two good QBs and a RB that will lead for a couple of years. Went 10-3 my first year, won the ACC Coastal division with a tiebreaker and beat UNC for the ACC title by a field goal. Beat Michigan State in the Orange Bowl (lost to MSU in the third game of the year). Ended the season ranked #15. Never got any coaching offers after the season.

                              Marylands got a couple different uni combos too.
