This is important because what if he gets a HC job? Ratings would be great, but there really isn't any way to come up with the ratings. If we as a community come up with a good way to create ratings maybe they could take a look for next year. Thoughts?

Play College Hoops 2k8 or even Head Coach 09. There are templates out there for how to make coach ratings matter for HC as well as coordinators and even position coaches. I doubt it will be easy for EA to program but I hope they will follow up with big improvements to CC next year and not leave us waiting years for the next step.

So I'm thinking starting out at an even lower level will take about the same time or a little longer.

Another school of thought would suggest that it takes considerable coaching prowess to win 10+ games per year and BCS bowl games without the benefit of any four- or five-star recruits. Not that I'm going to argue the arbitrary ratings of fictional head coaches...

Gives me an idea for a poll question... Dennis Erickson and Howard Schnellenberger each have one national title. Should they have <, >, or = the prestige of Frank Beamer, with no national titles but almost 200 wins?

Nice addition for offline dynasty but nothing exceptional.

Has it been said that we can edit coach's prestige ratings? If not, then I will be very upset, but if we can edit them and the coordinators that'd be fantastic!

Also, I'm hoping those coordinators' prestige changes later after they become a head coach. If not, then we really really need to be able to edit the rating.

I saw a guy on there too talk about how Texas had a 5-7 season or something and they fired their coach. I've been wondering how carousel will work with 6 star schools or if they will always just have A+ coaches and amazing seasons but from what I've heard so far there will be up and down season.

Which is EXACTLY what I was looking for from coaching carousel.

I don't think we've even realized all the ways this will change our enjoyment and how we play dynasty mode.

Has this issue been addressed?

Awesome.

They could make a game consisting of nothing but dynasty with recruiting and coaching carousel and I'd be in love.
