    A Commonwealth Coach (NCAA 11)

    A Commonwealth Coach

    A Journey in the Coaching Career of Kentucky Native Samuel King


    I have completed a multitude of dynasties, but never took the time and effort to track one on OS. But I have faith this will be the one. I will begin my career as the Head Coach of Western Kentucky University, with a young and desiring coach whose only goal is to lead the University of Kentucky Wildcats to become a national powerhouse, but he has to start somewhere.

    Beginning Sliders are Guru's NCAA 11 Heisman Sliders from the forums on Gaming Tailgate. I love this game, (and NCAA 14 is currently $80 and I have a baby on the way... so do the math). I am attempting to do HTML as much as I can, and graphics and artwork may improve and look different along the way, so bare with me.

    Here goes nothing.
    Psalm 118:17 "I will not die; instead, I will live to tell what the LORD has done."

          All Hail The King
          June 13th, 2010
          WKU hires local Kentuckian Samuel King as new head football coach.


          BOWLING GREEN---A position that has been highly sought in the last few months in the NCAA world is now filled. The thirty year old Georgetown, KY native is now leading the helm for the Hilltoppers coming into the 2010 season. “I am overwhelmed...it feels like a dream,” King told a reporter at the preseason press conference on monday, “I have always day-dreamed of the day I would coach a division one football school, and now I am lucky enough to do it in my home state.”

          King was born and raised in Central Kentucky, attending and graduating from Georgetown College in 1999, a prominent NAIA Football program in the state. He immediately became a graduate assistant under Head Coach Bill Cronin, winning back-to-back titles in 2000 & 2001, before moving up quickly to Offensive Coordinator for the last eight seasons. He has been highly sought after for his ridiculously high football IQ, and knowledge of football history. WKU Athletic Director Todd Stewart told the press while having his arm around Coach King, “I can not believe we landed a guy like this, an NFL caliber coach in our little ol’ Kentucky town.” The joke nodding to the press release that came out in the Lexington Herald-Leader in May that King was being contacted by the Miami Dolphins to be the new Offensive Line coach this year. Miami ended up going with John Thompson, former Texas Tech coach, but the discussion drew huge media attention in the area.

          What will come next for the Hilltoppers remains unknown, but fans and alumni nationwide are optimistic. “It may take time, but I will build this program, and I will make sure nothing stops me from reaching the goals we have set as a staff.”
          Psalm 118:17 "I will not die; instead, I will live to tell what the LORD has done."

            2010 Western Kentucky Hilltoppers

            Season Preview
            Kawaun-2010 Pre
            Quarterback Kawaun Jakes

            Strong in the Backfield---Sophomore QB Kawaun Jakes has what it takes to lead this team to major success before his career is up. His speed is out of this world, though he may lack some throwing accuracy he can make defenses miss on his feet. Junior RB Bobby Rainey is going to light up the MAC in rushing this season. His incredible speed and agility in a stocky 5’7”, 203 build will leave defensive backs in the dust, but the first issue lies in his ability to make power runs through the D-Line. Senior WR Quin Cooper will be Jakes’ 1st, (and only), throwing option. His ability to catch the ball may be sub-par, but his speed and elusiveness once he gets a hold of the football will bode him well this year.

            Conway-2010 Pre
            Center Sean Conway

            Read Between the Lines---Sophomore TE Jack Doyle is the pristine all-around tight end. His blocking is good enough to make a difference, but his catching ability will be what wins games this year. The offensive line is dominated with seniors, but starting Redshirt Freshman center Sean Conway will be an anchor for this run game this year, and for many years to come. (Expect some All-American nominations coming this guy’s way). The one and only standout in a vast array of mediocre defensive lineman is Senior nose tackle Nick Hartnett. His success will be the deciding factor in whether the opponent is going to put up 10 or 100.

            Beard Left, Santoro right-2010 Pre
            Safeties Ryan Beard (Left) and Mark Santoro (Right)

            Barely Secondary---The All-Senior starting linebacking core will be headed by Chris Bullard, a fast moving ROLB ready to prove himself to Coach King. With no standout Cornerback this year, the Hilltopper secondary will be hurting unless they see some major improvement very rapidly during the season. Juniors Mark Santoro and Ryan Beard will be heading the safety core downfield, and will have to work overtime to make up for the disastrous situation at corner.

            *Conference Game

            The Future is Bleak---The scheduling crew in Bowling Green, KY will be in need of new jobs after this season. The Hilltoppers begin the season with six straight away games, two of which against Power-5 teams in USC and Oklahoma. Ohio is a tough matchup for a MAC season-opener, as the Bobcats are projected to win the MAC East in 2010. Fortunately, five of the last seven games for WKU will be at home, which will help tremendously. Facing Idaho at home in week fourteen will definitely be the easiest game of the season, as it will be mandatory for Coach King to win that game, and take some conference games as well.
            Projection: 3-9 (2-6)

                Thanks man, looking forward to it for sure. Jakes being a sophomore really changes things big time. Excited to see what I can do with him.

                  USC Wins with Ease against WKU, 35-7
                  August 27th, 2010
                  Pasadena, CA--- Thirty-five points on one of the lowest teams in the FBS may not seem like much, but if you saw any glimpse of the televised game, you would understand it was much more brutal than that. USC won the toss and chose to receive the ball, and five players later, Senior half-back Allen Bradford walked his way in for the first of his three touchdowns on the day. WKU slowly drove down the field and ended up missing a 40-yard field goal, but the Trojans gave the ball right back on a fumble two plays later. This led to a three-play drive that ended with WKU Senior Wide Receiver Quin Cooper catching a curl route and running 72 yards for the score. Both teams traded scoreless possessions until the end of the second quarter, when Kawaun Jakes threw an interception that led to Star QB Matt Barkley throwing a beautiful 27-yard Touchdown to Receiver Brice Butler.

                  “Going into the second half 14-7, I really thought we had a chance,” Coach King said in his first game at the helm for the Hilltoppers, “but the combination of turnovers and the inability to get the run game going at all, really killed us as the game went on.” WKU received the ball to start the second half, and proceeded to run the ball three consecutive times, all for negative yardage. Three of the Bowling Green Boys last four possessions of the game ended in a turnover, as the Trojans dominated the rest of the game pulling away easily. “We simply can not win if we aren’t going to be able to run the ball. I have my quarterback out here getting more yards than my halfback on half the number of attempts. We have a lot to work on this week.” King said after the game.

                  Starting QB Kawaun Jakes completed less than half of his 24 pass attempts for 187 yards and a touchdown along with his three interceptions. Bobby Rainey ended up with only 35 rushing yards on 20 attempts. While the offensive stats were quite ugly, King was enthusiastic about the defense, “...on the third drive of the game, we force a fumble and recover it, later on we hold them to two long field goals that were both missed because our D stood firm on third down... I know we have what it takes to win, and I hope we can carry over some of these positives into the Ohio game.” The Hilltopper linebacking-core made up over half of the tackles in the game for the defense, led by Senior Thomas Majors’ 7.

                  Next week WKU takes on Ohio University in Athens for their first game ever in MAC, the Bobcats are coming off a 38-10 win at home over FCS West. This continues a long six-game road stretch for the Hilltoppers, a big challenge for Coach King to break him into the new head coach lifestyle.

                    Looking forward to seeing how WKU does in the MAC this season -- I like that conference change for them.

                      I didn't give it much attention in my intro but yeah I made some geographical changes to the Pac-10, MWC, MAC, and Sun-Belt. Put TCU in the Big-12 in exchange for Colorado too. I am super limited because unlike 14 you have to keep the same number of teams in each conference.

                      MAC will be tougher than the Sun-Belt too, so I am definitely looking forward to that.
