Athletic Director/Head Coach/Recruiting Coordinator Role Play Dynasty (XBOX 360)

At the request of another player I am going to take on this endeavor again.
My apologies to those who participated before but as I got into the thick of the actual football season my coaching duties consumed me, but that paid off with our second straight undefeated season. Now that football season is over I have the time and desire to fully execute this.

One of the most enjoyable aspects for the NCAA football series of video games for me has been the ability to take programs and make them competitive for championships over time. I have coached football at various levels and sometimes the flaws in AI or exploits in the game drive me nuts.

I have started an online dynasty with a twist rather unique to what I have seen thus far.

A dynasty where all of the games each week are simulated and not played by users. The challenge is trying to assemble enough talent to put your program in a position to compete for and win a championship. Of course there are varying degrees of difficulty in this task ranging from starting with a competitive program like Georgia or trying to bring the Commander-In-Chief's Trophy back to West Point in route to competing for National Championships again like in the 1940's.

Either task can be done as a single player in a simulated dynasty given enough time. I suspect the task will be much more difficult with 12 users battling it out on the field and the recruiting trail.

Some may think this idea is lame and have no interest. That is fine, you are entitled to your opinion.

But I would like to highlight some of the benefits that I perceive:
-smaller time commitment
-no need to coordinate a time block between two users to play a game
-rapid advancement, more coaching moves/conference invites
-scheduling challenges (Did you schedule too weak or too strong to reach a certain bowl game?)
-planning/recruiting for the future becomes more important

This dynasty will advance every evening possible between 5 and 7pm EST.
I have started with RomanCeaser's roster file.
Users can choose whichever team they like.
Scheduling other users is encouraged.
There will be times when some users can't get their stuff done in a 24 hour period. And yes, people actually do take vacations. So my general rule is a user is removed from the dynasty after 10 days of inactivity and no other form of communication.

Folks interested, contact me on XBOX Live with which team you'd like and I'll send out the invites in short order.

My favorite Bowl Subdivision team happens to be Navy, so I highly encourage and would give preference for those who would like Army and Air Force.

There are no restrictions on the team you can start out with.
The other taken team is Buffalo.

Figured I should bump this to the top. I'm the other user in this dynasty, and I participated in the previous one. It was a lot of fun, as the concept was new and it didn't take a lot of time. I encourage everyone to try it just once...

Gentlemen,

As we can and will add interested players to the dynasty at any time I don't see any more reason to hold off on advancing and getting this thing started. Please send me any changes you would like made to your non-conference games for the first season and set yourself ready to advance when you are ready.

We will continue to advance everyday and may even advance multiple times in a day if everyone is ready. That could be relatively easy as I noticed that we were all online at the same time last night.

I decided to start this up 10 days ago and we have advanced through the pre-season and are currently on week 8 of the 2008 season with 6 users. There is plenty of time to get in before we execute our first off season where the futures of many schools will be determined. And as there are no restrictions to the team you use in this dynasty, it is very likely your favorite team is still available.

Respond here or contact me on XBOX live if you are interested in participating.

I'll take baylor - gamertag is coachroe

Actually, I would like the challenge of army instead although I may have to put in an option offense to just for the fun of it against navy. I was also tempted by georgia tech but it's more fun head to head

The two of you have been sent invites.

CoachRoe,
Since Army hired Cal Poly's head coach I'm certain that he will be bringing the Triple Option with him. Cal Poly made the Division 1 playoffs this year and should have beat Wisconsin in a game that went into overtime. It will be very interesting as he is a Paul Johnson disciple.

Air Force also runs an option offense, although it is significantly different in real life than the Johnson version of the Triple Option. I don't know how much it differs in the game though. If you would like to change your team just let me know via XBOX live and I'll make it happen.
