Coach Hawkins' Journey to the Top: Volume I
The Problematic Pirates

Overview

A couple months ago, I tried to start a relegation dynasty with the Central Michigan Chippewas, but that didn't last too long, unfortunately. I wasn't able to get past the first season due to a mixture of reasons, but I wanted to try it again and improve upon the mistakes that I made. I would recommend checking the first thread and skimming through it to understand what I was trying to do.

To try to keep this one rolling and in an effort to keep my interest in this, I will be taking as long as possible to get each game out. In the last dynasty, I felt an obligation to get as much information and to write as many articles and to play as many games as possible. I realize now that this “obligation” was no obligation at all. I put a lot of effort into the articles, and I still want to put effort into them, but they definitely won’t be that long or in that quantity as it was in the last one. Stick with me, I hope you all enjoy it as much as I (hopefully) will.

Like I said in that last thread, I found the idea of a relegation dynasty on the OS Forums months before my first relegation dynasty and I thought that it was a solid incentive to try to take a team from the bottom tier to the top tier. To give some background, the system that I created for this relegation dynasty is as follows:

Tier 1: SEC and Pac-12 (16 teams each)
Tier 2: Big Ten and Big 12 (12 teams each)
Tier 3: ACC and American (12 teams each)
Tier 4: MAC (10 teams)
Tier 5: Mountain West (10 teams)
Tier 6: C-USA (10 teams)
Tier 7: Sun Belt (10 teams)
Tier 8: Independents (6 teams)

Unlike the last relegation dynasty, I simmed ahead 5 years to gage where each team would fit in the system. You can see how I set the tiers in this spreadsheet. I did not keep track of everything in the five-year simulation, so all information in this dynasty is up-to-date in real life prior to the beginning of the 2018 season. Officially, the first year of the dynasty will begin in the 2018 season. To make it more of a challenge, I have decided to choose East Carolina, who is in the bottom tier.

Like I said in the last thread, in this system, to be able to promote, the team that is eligible for promotion has to play the team from the tier above that is eligible for relegation. This gives the team facing a relegation a chance to stay up and it also prevents teams going up and down between two tiers for years on end. In addition, for the Independents, since there is no way to regulate what teams they play, I took temaat89's system to be able to determine who gets promotion. However, I changed it a bit so that it would fit my system. A team would gain 5 points if they beat a top-10 ranked team, 4 points if they beat a top-25 ranked team, 3 points if they beat an unranked team in Tier 1 or 2, 2 points if they beat an unranked team in Tier 3, 4 or 5 and 1 point for any other unranked team, that is not an FCS team.

In addition to the relegation aspect of the dynasty, there will be a national title playoff, containing four teams, that has the top-ranked teams in the BCS poll. With this playoff, and the promotion-relegation playoff games, there will not be a lot of bowl games to have, so any bowl game left available will be disregarded and not be counted, statistics-wise.

If you have any questions on how this will work, please let me know as soon as possible.

Backstory

After the announcement that the East Carolina Pirates would be in the bottom tier, the Pirates’ athletic department decided they had some work to do. After just his second year in charge, Scottie Montgomery was fired from the head coaching position. After roughly two months without a head coach, the Pirates' athletic department settled for Brian Hawkins – the offensive coordinator of Elon Phoenix. Born in Wilmington, North Carolina, and a former wide receiver on the Campbell University football team, Hawkins knows the state of North Carolina and its football programs. However, with no coaching experience at the helm of a D1 football program, it doesn't look like it will be an easy ride for Hawkins. We'll have to see if he can live up to the hype given to him by the East Carolina University alumni in...

Rivalries
Marshall Thundering Herd
After the tragic plane crash that was carrying 70 members of the Marshall football team and 5 flight crew members home after a game against the Pirates, East Carolina and Marshall have embarked on a "friendly" rivalry, of sorts. With the first game in 1967, the two teams played for four years until the tragic crash. Prior to both joining Conference USA, the two teams played irregularly. However, when both teams were in Conference USA, they played annually until East Carolina left the conference for greener pastures in the American Athletic Conference. Since 2013, the Pirates and the Thundering Herd have not played each other

All-Time Record
Pre-dynasty: ECU, 10-5
Dynasty: ECU, 1-0
Total: ECU, 11-5

NC State Wolfpack
Due to the close proximity of the two schools, the size of the schools, and some off-field incidents in the history, the two teams can be considered quality rivals. Although East Carolina is in the background due to the rivalries with Duke, North Carolina, and Wake Forest for NC State, the rivalry between the Pirates and the Wolfpack has been an interesting one. From 1970 to 1987, East Carolina and NC State played annually. However, after fans of the Pirates tore down goal posts and the playing surface at Carter-Finley Stadium in 1987, Jim Valvano terminated the annual scheduling of the two schools.

The teams would not meet again until the 1992 Peach Bowl. Then, in 1996, the two schools met in Charlotte's Bank of America Stadium rather than on either school's home field. In 1997, the North Carolina Legislature proposed a bill demanding that North Carolina and NC State must play East Carolina on an annual basis, which would officially revive the series between East Carolina and NC State. The two teams have played for the "Victory Barrel" since 2007 after the Student Government Associations of both NC State and ECU created the trophy. Since the introduction of the barrel, the series has been 3-3.

All-Time Record
Pre-dynasty: NCST, 16-13
Dynasty: ECU, 1-0
Total: NCST, 16-14

UCF Knights
Beginning in 1991, the rivalry between the Pirates and the Knights recently became more intense. Since 2005, the teams have met 9 times when UCF joined ECU in both teams' former conference, Conference USA. Since 2005, the two teams have been in the same conference, excluding the 2013 season. The teams continued their meeting after the 2013 season as members in the East Division of the American Athletic Conference until the end of the 2017 season.

All-Time Record
Pre-dynasty: ECU, 10-6
Dynasty: ECU, 1-0
Total: ECU, 11-6
