Welcome to the best NCAA Football dynasty on any console: The Coaching Carousel (tm). In this dynasty, goons start at the worst programs in college football and can either work their way up the coaching ladder or build a powerhouse out of a traditional also-ran. Thanks to various EA glitches, the original Coaching Carousel had to be abandoned going into Season 3. Now, let us never speak of that again.



The Rules:
- Heisman difficulty
- absolutely no re-starts against the CPU
- you must create your own coach (clever names encouraged)
- you must join a 1-star (non-BCS) program in season 1

Coaching Goons:
Diodeous - Colorado - (GT: BenedictWong)
Mr. World - UTSA - (GT: TacklingAl)
AfterFather - California - (GT: BJTheRealist)
Lil Jon Galt - Oregon - (GT: Kancho)
cletus42o - Nebraska - (GT: cletus42o)
Texas A. Wreckus - West Virginia - (GT: QuikDrawQuincy)

Cal over Nebraska, 45-29.

Took me too long to get any offense going, game got out of reach early.
Tried to get a comeback going late, recovered the onsides, but got stuffed and had to punt it away.

Roadrunners over Buffs 49-37. My defense could not stop the pass whatsoever and so Mr. World's QB just absolutely went off. My 3 picks didn't help, but whatever. Good game, buddy. r2a

My game against cletus is going to be ugly as gently caress. Breaking in this new team last night against Mr. World was a rough go. My offense has potential, but I've got some very limited QBs commanding it. My defense worries the hell out of me if I can't stop players rated 5-10 points lower and if I can't get pressure at all during the first game.

Cletus, when is good for you? Tonight is the only bad night for me

Yeah I'll be extremely available while she is away. I can probably do almost any time you name as long as it's not during the work day.

Yup, I work in midtown Manhattan and live in Brooklyn. The LSU bar is just a short walk from where I work! I'm down for a drink, even though the prospect of meeting a goon fills me with (what I consider a healthy amount of) dread.

It's just too bad there's no college football to watch!

I was happier with this option playbook, feels like it's the right way to go with my QB. But this was an ugly game. Too many interceptions thrown, and then I accidentally fumbled off two interceptions to really sweeten things up.

It was a fun game though! GG Dio

Great Game Texas. Cal over West Virginia 38-35. The difference in this game was turnovers. If I wasnt able to get any I probably lose this game by 14 as my defense was dominated all game and could not get any stops besides the turnovers. BTW Bryce Treggs is a monster.
