Firing coaches in closed legacy

[dxaccord]

How does one effectively get a coach fired in a closed legacy?

I just spent a number of hours making it so that Coach Hewitt at GT had three abysmal seasons in a row, to where he has no bar at all in his job security, yet despite literally hundreds of attempts, I cannot get the position to open on the coaching carousel.

For the record, I'm in about the 18th season in legacy, and still lovin' it.

Oh, and a helpful hint for fellow legacy vets: after much time spent repeatedly re-simming the coaching carousel, I've come to the conclusion that 63 years old is the youngest age where a coach will retire / his job will open on the coaching carousel.

Thanks in advance for any advice.

What's your career record? GT might not want you. They have to offer you the job.

Perhaps I should clarify. My coach's record is like 575-85 or somewhere thereabouts. For that matter, the season leading up to the carousel, I won the national championship with Syracuse.

Therefore, it's not an issue of being able to accept vs. decline the job. Rather, I cannot get Georgia Tech to appear on the coaching carousel, in spite of the fact that I simmed Hewitt to have nothing left on the job security bar; presumably this would mean that he would show up fired at the end of the season.

Give it some time.

Give it some time.

You're right. Another season (this time simmed to a 1 win record) and he was out. Finally get to play at GT. Woot.

How were you simming GT season to make them lose?

Play or sim your own team's games. Meanwhile, follow along with the desired team's schedule and make sure they lose the game they play- if they win, reload your prior save (ideally the day before their game) and re-simulate the day. Rinse and repeat.

I don't think it is that serious.I have just taken the schools that was given to me.I went from WIU ( MID-CON), to Santa Clara (WCC) and i am currently at Wisconsin.My dream job is Indiana and if it ever opens up i am gone from Wisconsin.If it doesn't open up oh well.

resimming... ah, what a cheap trick.

Haha, not to say I've never done it, but it IS cheap. I always have to remind myself not to resim my own games if I lose. Because I look at it this way if I played the game we'd win... so I want the win, I only play the games vs really good teams or NCAA tourney games. But with my overconfidence and resimming I always end up with crazy winning %s.

Actually it's not overconfidence, but you know what I mean. Laziness, maybe.
