What does it take for a guy to get a HC offer anymore?!?

[GordoJ]

Hey guys, apologies if this has been asked to death.

I have very limited playing time, but I enjoy building up a smaller program and working my way up the ranks to larger and larger jobs.
In previous NCAA games, this directly correlated with on field success. If I was consistently a 10-11 win per year coach, 4 to 4.5 prestige programs were knocking on my door. Make or win the Natty, you were pretty much guaranteed a 4.5 to 5 prestige program HC job offer the next season.

I’m in year two of my Cal rebuild. Cal is not bad or small; 3.5 prestige , which is pretty average. As a test, I quickly forced win the next 3 seaons, making myself go undefeated and win the natty 3 seasons in a row.

The result? I got tons of OC/DC offers, but the number of HC offers you’d think I’d never coached a game before.
After (force simming) a 3 peat National Championship, the highest profile HC job I was actually offered was Missouri.

Missouri.

No shade on Mizzou, but that’s the best offer for a 3 time national champ? And there were MANY HC vacancies that came open in that time; FSU, ND, Nebraska, OSU, Penn State, Oregon, Texas, and several more.

It’s frustrating because I’d like to think if I stay at Cal for the next several seasons and keep winning I’ll at least be considered for the big boys. But at this rate unless I win the natty 5 out of the next 6 seasons, I won’t be looking at anything other than a lateral move to any other HC offer.

Am I missing something? Is there some trait I need? A certain amount of time that has to elapse that you’re a HC for the big name programs to be interested?
Or should I just start as one of the big boys if I ever want a better job and not have to play 12 seasons?

Help!

They know you're force simming wins.

I'm coaching Iowa State. Coach mode with coachgunn's sliders, 15 minutes, 80 speed threshold, 25 second countdown. I lost to Alabama in the finals last season. Currently undefeated with #1 seed.

I have one offensive coordinator offer. 28-1 over the last 2 seasons.

That’s annoying. I just don’t have the time to sink 7-8 seasons into a team I’m not passionate about in hopes that 3 months from now by season 8 of my dynasty and winning 4 championships someone finally offers me a HC contract.

I think Coach prestige plays a lot in to it .

I was OC at USC, and my coach prestige was A+, I got HC offered from Florida St., Oklahoma St. and UCLA that offseason. This was year 3.

As I said in the other thread, I was offered the UVA HC position after 1 dynasty season at Nevada with my Level 6 created coach, an 8-5 record and a W in the bowl game. Following a 7-6 season (bowl L) I have offers at USF & Liberty (ranked #18 & #19 respectively) as well as Pitt (ACC). I’m now a Level 11 coach with a total record of 15-11 (1-1 in bowls).

Thanks for the replies guys!

So is it more effective if your primary goal is to move up the coaching ranks to start as a coordinator at a more prestigious school? Or as the HC of a less prestigious school?
