Weird glitch in my third game at UNLV. In OT, we had the ball first and threw an INT. Instead of going into SuperSim and watching my D blow it, it gave us the ball back with 1st and 10. We scored and won. UNLV didn't get a possession in OT.

I had 30 carries for 166 yards and a touchdown, as well as 2 catches for 21 yards.

Lost 23-21 at USF because of HORRID playcalling with less than a minute left. I guess it's payback for the last game.

I had 17 carries for 76 yards and 4 catches for 52 yards and a touchdown.

 

[BrntO4Life]

Defeated Tulsa 28-14 at home. I had 23 carries for 149 yards and 2 touchdowns, as well as 3 catches for 36 yards.

Getting ready to pound it in from the 1.​

At 4-1, we're already improved over our last two seasons!

Our first season in the WAC was a huge disappointment. We started off 0-4 and had to make a quarterback change. About 5 or 6 games in we went back to the original QB, because the new guy was even worse. We ended the season 4-8 with the two QB's having 10 touchdowns and 10 interceptions combined. Surprisingly though, we had a Top 40 recruiting class by the end of the regular season.

My contract expired and I was looking to get a better job. New Mexico fired Mike Locksley, and I thought this meant I was in line for the job. I was wrong. They only offered me an extension as the OC (Les Miles became the OC). I wasn't gonna stay as the OC at UNM when I knew I could get a better job.

I was in the running for a lot of jobs, but it didn't get serious until Boston College. I was their top candidate, but they decided to go in a different direction. After being in the running for the Colorado job for a while, they offered me a contract and I accepted. We ended up with the 39th ranked recruiting class (UNM finished 43rd).

3-2 as Idaho. Beat Texas A&M in a nail biter 28-24, only to get smoked by Fresno State 30-10. A couple of red zone turnovers on my end blew the game open. Rebounded with a 35-28 win over Army.

 

[TheImmortalGoud]

It was a very frustrating year at Colorado. We ended up 7-6 with a 28-14 win over Tulane in the Beef O' Brady Bowl. We easily could of had an 11 win season, but our defense can't finish at the end of games.

In the Army game we score with 1:18 left on the clock, but our defense lets fucking ARMY score a TD with 30 seconds left. Against Arizona we score with 2:18 left, and then our defense lets Arizona score in 69 seconds. The USC game was the exception. Our kicker decided to miss a last second field goal even though he was perfect on the season. The most frustrating one was against UCLA. If we won that game then we would have clinched the South. We score with 1:15 left on the clock, but our defense decided to stop playing again. They came down the field and score in less than a minute.

One of the only positives we had this season was from Senior RB Tony Jones. One of the best players in the country (98 OVR). This guy is a fucking warrior. He ended up getting injured in every game except two. He even sustained multiple injures in about 3 or 4 games this season. The guy didn't miss a single game. He finished the season with 202 carries, 1282 yards, a 6.3 YPC average, and 10 TD's.

As a coach you're always looking for the best job. Even though I liked the direction we were heading at Colorado, I wouldn't pass on a better job. North Texas and some other no name school offered me the OC job, but I'm not fucking stupid. Ole Miss then came to me to see if they wanted me to be their OC. I couldn't turn down the opportunity to coach in the SEC, so I took the job.

Ole Miss had a lot of players returning and a decent recruiting class before I got there. When I got there I just wanted to add the best talent. We managed to pick up two 4* players once I got there (already had one signed). We ended up with the 36th ranked recruiting class (7th in the SEC). Colorado had the 58th ranked recruiting class.

Just finished my first game as OC at ECU. Played #13 South Carolina and lost by a field goal 38-35. I used my RnS playbook. Domonique Davis had a very good performance throwing for 381 yards and 4 TDs.

I actually lost due to a missed field goal as time expired and the message to me after the game was "Another loss like that and we may be forced to reevaluate your contract." WTF!?!?!!? I just lost, off a MISSED FIELD GOAL to the #13 ranked team in the country!!! I took them to the wire - the AD is disrespecting my shit! What next? Are they going to fire me for a loss to next week's opponent Virginia Tech!?!?!

LOL, youi might want to start looking at some other jobs.

Memphis has proven they belong. In 2013, the Tigers ran the table in the regular season. They knocked off two ranked opponents in Maryland and UCF. They then faced SMU in the C-USA championship game. They dug an early whole, as three consecutive turnovers lead to a 17-0 first quarter deficit. The defense started playing very well, as well as the offense. Memphis pulled out a squeaker with a 24-21 win. This put Memphis at #4 in the country with a 13-0 mark. They were selected to play UConn in the Fiesta Bowl. After driving down on the first possession, Memphis took a 7-0 lead into the half. UConn came out and just ran the ball right down our throats in the 2nd half. After taking a pick 6 back to the house, we led 14-7. UConn drove the ball down and with time expiring, Memphis tackled the UConn QB on the 2 yard line to seal the victory and preserve the perfect season. The team took home quite the haul in the trophy area this season. HB Shaw took home the Heisman, Walter Camp, and Walker. Sophomore DE took home the Nagurski and Lombardi. We also took home the Ray Guy award and coach of the year. We had three 1st team All-Americans in HB Shaw, DE Davis, and P Hornsey. With a 14-0 mark, Memphis ended the year ranked #3 in the nation. My contract is expiring this year, so we'll see what this offseason has in store for Coach Kelly.

EDIT: I was hoping to get an offer from my alma mater Kansas State. I was #2 on their HC list, but they went with their first choice and hired their OC. I ended up declining the Memphis job however, and took the head coaching job at Mizzou.

Memphis WR makes a spectacular one handed grab against UCF.

My first year as the OC at Ole Miss was a very successful year. We started the season 5-1 including a win over #12. The one loss was to UCF who scored on a punt return in the final minute. We went on to go 1-3 in the next 4 games. After those games we were scheduled to play 3 Top 10 teams. Auburn, LSU, & Mississippi State.

We were competing with Auburn in the first quarter, but then their talent just took over. I don't remember the score, but it was a wide margin. The next game was against the undefeated #1 LSU Tigers. It was an odd game considering it was snowing in Mississippi, but that wasn't gonna hinder us. Our first play of the game was a deep PA pass for a TD. It went all down hill from there for LSU. They didn't end up scoring until midway though the 4Q. By that time it was over. Wen went on to win 27 (maybe 28)-8. Mississippi State was overrated all year. We went on to win that game easily.

This put us ranked #13 heading into the Bowl Season. We were chosen to play Baylor in the Cotton Bowl. I was disappointed by this, considering we beat Baylor earlier in the season. Nonetheless, we went on to beat Baylor 24-21 in a a game which turned out to be an ESPN Classic.

We finished #12 in the country with a 9-4 record. At the end of the season I had 100% job security and earned an A+ in coach prestige. I knew I was gonna get a lot of offers, and I did. I got offered over 12 HC jobs and about every OC position. All the HC jobs were bad, so I declined them. The only job I considered was the OC job at LSU. I ended up staying at Ole Miss, because of the familiarity with the players.

We had a decent recruiting class coming in at #34. We didn't score a 4* or above, but we managed to get a lot of 3* depth on the team. We weren't on TV that much, and I felt that attributed to not getting any big time recruits. I wanted to change that, so I scheduled #15 Maryland, #12 Arizona, and #19 Utah at the beginning of the season.

Some Conference change notes. I moved Boise to the Pac-12 in replace of Washington State. I moved Northern Illiinois to the Big Ten in replace of Minnesota. I also moved Central Florida to the SEC in replace of Vanderbilt.

Lost 14-7 in OT against ECU in my RTG.

I had 19 carries for 108 yards and 6 catches for 58 yards. I also topped 1,000 yards rushing for the second straight season.

 

[BrntO4Life]

Beat Memphis 14-0 at home.

I had 24 carries for 154 yards and a touchdown, as well as 5 catches for 84 yards.

Tulane is now 5-2.

I’m playing with Memphis and finished the year 7-6 with a bowl game loss. Anyways, I’m doing my recruiting thing and manage to get 2 3* players in a running back and a WR. I made playing time promises to both, because I’m thinking these guys are going to come in and be immediate impact players for my team. Not so much! The both of them come in ranked in the mid 50’s....not even enough to be ranked in the top 5 of my depth chart…..I’m like WTF?...and I made playing time promises to these 2 fools?

I decided to cut the both of them. :smug:

So I just played an A+ rated team in Oklahoma in year 3 of my ND dynasty, still haven't lost. I thought I was getting close to some good sliders, then I beat Oklahoma 21-3. So I think I am going to start a coaching carousel dynasty with Vandy. I was thinking as the HC before typing this post but as I write this I think being an OC would be fun.

 

[calgaryballer]

Went 9-3 in year one with Idaho. Only got the 102nd ranked class though. Mostly two and three star guys. Development was nice, overall team should've about the same. Defense lost three great lbs. Was disappointed I didn't get any offers, does that only happen when your contract is up?

Oh well. Offense is going to be a bit different this year. Have a much more mobile but less accurate qb. Have to build on last years Poinsetta Bowl win over navy. scheduled Boise again, as well as lsu and purdue. Gotta make that paper. Could be 1-3 heading into conference play

 

[inthecards21]

You gotta be shitting me.

I made it to the BCS Championship game and was winning for the entire game. I ended up with 9 total tackles, a forced fumble, an INT, and a TD. Well leave it to our offense to piss the game away with two late turnovers. They came back to tie it with like 30 seconds left. Then the offense turns it over again at the 10 yard line. They throw deep and our shitty secondary gives up the TD. What a heatbreaker. This is an awful way to end the season. Here's a pic of the INT. I still have 2 more years to win a title but man that was rough.

Season Stats:
113 Total Tackles (65 Solo, 48 Assisted), 23 TFL, 5.5 Sacks, 3 INT, 55 INT Yds, 8 Forced Fumbles, 1 Fumble Recovery, 39 Fumb Yds, 3 TD

Career Stats:
188 Total Tackels (105 Solo, 83 Assisted), 29 TFL, 7.5 Sacks, 6 INT, 93 INT Yds, 9 Forced Fumbles, 2 Fumble Recoveries, 73 Fumb Yds, 3 TD

So I finally lost a game. B+ rated Florida defeated A+ rated ND at South Bend, my first loss in 2 and a half seasons. Score was 20-10. Here are the stats.

ND
Rees(97 rated)- 11-24 157 yards.
RB(84 rated)- 16 carries 78 yards 4.8 average
2 sacks, 1 INT, 3 penalties

UF
Driskel(96 rated)- 20-34 199 yards 1 TD 1 INT
RB(81 rated)- 19 carries 109 yards 5.3 average
3 sacks, 4 penalties
Also UF's QB had 9 rushes for 49 yards

Here are my settings if anyone wants to test them out. The only kind of "house rules" I have is no 4 verts, and I only control the FS on defense. I am loose with those rules sometimes, but they are pretty consistent with my gameplan. I run a spread attack with a lot of short passes and runs. 3-4 defense.

Also keep in mind that ND is an A rated overall team that I played with. My goal was to create a game were I lose to better teams and beat the teams I am better than. Right before this game I beat Oklahoma(A+ in every category, highest rated in the game) 21-3. So I was glad that a B+ rated team(Even though they have plenty of great players) was able to beat me.

Just played at Stanford. We were pretty much equal ratings wise. I won 37-27.

Stats

ND
QB- 11-18 196 yards 3 TDs
RB- 21 carries 91 yards 4.3 average
4 sacks, 1 FR, 2 INTs, 2 Defensive TDs, 1 Safety

Stanford
QB- 15-22 187 yards 2 INTs
RB- 20 carries 219 yards(85 yard and 59 yard runs) 10.9 average (when the long carries are removed) 4.0 average
4 sacks

Really enjoyed this game. Thought I was gonna lose, then I got a sack and fumble, where Aaron Lynch ran 50 yards for the TD and their next possession my sophomore FS intercepted a 3rd down pass and went 74 yards.

Just played Maryland B+ in my bowl game. Lost 21-19 on a goalline stand. But then I got the safety to bring the score to 21-19.

Stats

ND
QB- 11-23 179 yards 1 TD 3 INT
RB- 25 carries 122 yards 4.8 average 1 TD
1 sack, 1 INT

Maryland
QB- 20-32 182 yards 2 TDs 1 INT
RB- 9 carries 53 yards 5.8 average
4 sacks 3 INTs

Maryland played a better defensive game and beat me, but it was close. I notice against tougher opponents I am around 200 yards passing. Against cake teams 300 is easy. I think moving up to 8 minutes would be better for stat freaks, but I don't want to play longer games.
