Coordinator Only?

[joephillips03]

Anybody think they will remain a coordinator and not accept any HC positions? I'm using the Canes running their D and loving it. I still get to recruit, the games don't take long and I'm still getting realistic stats. One drawback is the inability to run special teams. I kinda suck on punt returns and I can't pass well either so it seems like D is where I belong. Looks like the Florida job will open soon in my dynasty. I'm not sure I'm gonna accept an HC job if offered. Charlie Weiss shoulda stayed out of the HC position and remained a coordinator IMO. Anybody else feel like they will stay on just one side of the ball in their dynasties? I'm kinda curious. What side are you running and who are you using?

Im playin oc for my team and having a blast!! Games are closer and a lot tougher. i doubt I'll accept a HC job

I'm currently playing as an OC. Having a ton of fun even though my team is losing like it's the new winning. But looking over and seeing my defense ranked 107th in the nation just gets under my skin. That alone will have me accepting a HC job when the time comes. I don't think I can trust another scrub coordinator to use the players I recruit as well as I would. Plus I miss playing D and special teams.

Im with noles on this one..in my 4th year as OC, defense gives up atleast 25 a game (heisman). Its just annoying when i know i could hold the opponent to 10 a game, or less. Ill be accepting my HC position as soon as a good one is offered

I know what you mean. I am the DC at Ball State. I scratch and claw to make defensive stops and my 120th-ranked offense goes 3 and out more often than not.

I am tempted to jump ship at the first opportunity, but it felt so rewarding to make the big stop in overtime to win the prestigious New Mexico Bowl that I think I may stay on defense for a while.

My offense is putting up points! In my second year controlling the D and only one of my 2 losses was because of lack of points. I got upset by K- state because I couldn't stop their last drive. My offense is very trustworthy. Sticking to D for the near future.

See I guess mileage can vary. If I get an offer to coach my Noles or another talent stacked school I might be okay sticking it out as a lifer OC. Because I can be sure that the other side of the ball is skilled enough to hold its own. When I have time I watch the defense play. So I've seen instances where "the DC" will call a certain zone or cover play and I'm like what are you doing? Sure enough, burned for a 50 yard run or 40 yard pass. I expect the D to be bad (started out as OC for a 1 star TB school) but the decision making in defensive play-calling is mind boggling. That and I lost a game 27-26 because after I scored what I thought could be the winning TD in OT, the kicker apparently missed the extra point. Wish I could have controlled the kick. Boston College then scored on my voyeur defense and instead of a tie game after the extra point, they won the game. Yeah, I'm still mad. hahaha. But hey, it's still a ton of fun. And I do like the fact that you have to earn the right to make those calls/perform those functions (special teams, kicking, defense) by earning a job as a head coach.

So I was OC at Penn State. I led Joe PA to a NC. He retires, and here I am thinking they are going to offer me a job. Nope they decided to go in a different direction. I got hot and left for my Alma Mater USC to be there OC. 13-1 record then the gators come calling to be there HC. I took the job but kinda nervous cuz I haven't played any defense. Think I miss being an OC already, but want to be fully in charge. We shall see.
