Those who stay will be champions.



Unless you choose to stay at Michigan State.

Eh, I'm still working on Oregon State (currently 5 stars). Once I have them at six stars, I will enjoy using them for 2~3 seasons before moving on to my next school... which will probably be a UCLA team that has dropped to 2 stars -_- .

I usually like to stick with one team.

Re: So when do you guys decide to...

I always start with MTSU or another fairly weak team and build them up for 3 or 4 years. I stay with my weak team until they are strong, at which point I start waiting on an invite from Miami . It almost feels like going to the pros after you have been in a small school for so long.

After I get to Miami I usually stay there and try to get to the National Championship game. The only team I MIGHT leave Miami for is North Carolina, I call it the "Butch Davis" move.

I was at San Diego State for 11 years. I built them in to a 6 star program but I could never get an invite to a BCS conference and I got tired of playing D rated teams on a regular basis so I took a job at the 4 star FSU so I can try and bring them back to a national powerhouse

Re: So when do you guys decide to...

I only switch if it makes sense. For instance you wouldn't leave Florida to go coach San Jose State. I only go to teams that are struggling (obviously a successful team isn't going to fire their coach, and where's the challenge in that anyway?) and only move up or laterally. For instance going from say New Mexico to BYU, from BYU to Baylor, from Baylor to Michigan etc. And I only accept invitations, I never just switch on my own.

If I have terrible years and somehow get fired, I always restart with a lesser team again.

Re: So when do you guys decide to...

I just do it by feel. There's no real right answer. With small programs, I generally leave once I've gotten their talent level to the point where they'll be competitive after I leave. With larger schools, it's usually just when I get bored and want to move on.

More often than not, I stay at a school longer than I intend to. I say I'm leaving at the end of my contract, but then I bring in a big-time QB or HB and I want to play with him and get sucked in again.
