Inspired by @Wolfman21's, who reminded me that Avid is a thing.
I've started with Ball State as an OC and will move my way up the coaching ladder. Started with them because their roster is pretty solid for what I want to do and I wanted to play with a MAC team I've never played with before. Ideal trajectory is to coach here for a couple years, move to OC at a smaller P5 school, maybe stay there or bounce between P5 OC jobs for a while, take a G5 HC job and coach them until I take them to a BCS bowl, and then take a smaller P5 job. I have a few in mind (Northwestern, Vandy, Minnesota, UVA, Cal, Wazzu, Missouri). Will probably stray away from taking the UCLA or CU jobs if I'm offered them because I just did a dynasty where I coached both of them for a decade, but we'll see. Once I get my corch established, I'm going to create a few others. I tried starting out with three different corches, but it gets too hard to deal with in one week. So once I'm a HC, I'll create a defensive guy and maybe a pro-style guy to give me competition. I'll do their recruiting so their talent level is always good, but I won't play with them much.
Recruiting restrictions: I can only recruit one star above my team prestige. Ball State is a two star, so only one, two, and three star CROOTS. I'm thinking up some geographic restrictions right now, will probably have to do with pipeline states.
I beat Illinois 34-17 the first week because they are trash. Onto UAB at home. As you can see from looking at the Avid, EA went full EA and destroyed my schedule, so I have five home games in the first six weeks and then six straight road games.
We were picked 5th in the MAC West. I'm guessing we finish 8-4 or even win the division, because the schedule is easy since I based it off of their real schedule. I'll need to make it harder next year.
