Getting a new job

[buffboi]

What is up with the job ladder thing at the end of the season? I have 5 good years where i win the conference and conference championship and make it to either the second round or sweet sixteen.

Then in the offseason you see coaches from worse schools getting jobs in power or major conferences. Or if you're in a mid-major conference and once again kicking butt, the crap coaches get the good jobs. What is up with this, is there any way to make it work in your favor? You should be offered the job if u can take a team from 1 star overall to 4 stars overall.

It took me about 12-15 years to get to a power. And that was Oklahoma State. I got fired after 4 years there.

Yea i got lucky, calhoun and sutton both retired so i was offered either okie state or uconn, I took uconn, it was nice to finally be offered a good job.

I'm in year 30 of Legacy and I'm coaching Wyoming. I have had no ACC teams nor Big East teams available to coach. None of the 'big name' teams like Duke, UNC, Wake, Kentucky, Kansas, Mich. St, Texas, Syracuse, etc. are ever available? I look at the coaching profiles and Coach K has been coaching for 53 years? When do these guys retire? Is there a way to make them retire?

my simmed legacy went like this:

10 years at Texas Southern- 6 tourney bids, 1 sweet sixteen
19 years at Indiana State- 3 Final Fours and 2 National Championships
Finally got a great offer, Syracuse
Currently: 5 years, 3 tourney bids and 1 sweet sixteen


Overall:
770-280 career record
18 Regluar Season Championships
14 Conference Championships
23 NCAA Tourney Appearances
8 Sweet Sixteens
3 Final Fours
2 Titles
3 Preseaon #1 Rankings
23 20-win seasons
63 All-conference players
22 NBA Draftees

You just gotta be patient. But I do think some coaches are as some schools for way too long. And you should recieve better bids sooner.

Dont feel bad... I got offered the VT job after I lost in the second round in the NCAA tourny playing with Santa Clara in 2009....and i got the "freeze"

[notque]

I'm pretty good at moving up the ladder quickly. The key is you can't be fired your first year with a new team. so redshirt everyone, dive the season, then next season do well, get a new job.

Repeat.

I know right, this game sux when it comes to legacy, im in my 22 year i have 15 national championships and im wanting to get a job at arkansas but even though there in the middle of a 6 year losing streak they wont fire stan heath, hes been there for 28 years now, i mean come on, another thing that drives me crazy is im at georgia right now and ive won 5 national championships in a row, and for the last 4 years i havent had one single top 10 recruits, i mean comeon, we all know that EVERY recruit in the nation would want to play for me, i mean im 636-54 overall 15 titles, 22 conference championships, 42 players in the nba and i cant get a top 10 recruit? i do get 5 stars and MR BB and AA but never in the top 10, and the ones i do get i have to beg to get, has anyone ever gotten to a top team? also another gripe i have is the number of elite teams there are in this game, i mean vanderbilt is an elite team? give me a break, but there they are in my game, rated a 95 or better the last 6 years since ive been in the SEC. bottom line, ill never buy another game from this company, and i cant believe that espn put there name on this crap.

4 years at Jackson st. 3 conference champs, 1 ncaa win (upset duke in my 2nd year as a 15 seed then got crushed in the 2nd round), 2 first round losses. SWAC Coach of the year all 4 years.

3 years at boise st. 3 conference champs, lost in the first round, then elite 8, then sweet 16 (to national champ wake forest). WAC coach of the year all three years.

After year 7 Penn St and Wash St had openings but didnt offer me.
Clemson was 3rd on the list and offered so I took it.
The bad part though was that when I took it they had already used both of thier scholarships on 3 star recruits and the class I was recruiting at boise ended up being 10th in the nation. :lol:
I havent played a game with them yet.

I play nearly every game instead of simming.

[squidpants]

and for the last 4 years i havent had one single top 10 recruits, i mean comeon, we all know that EVERY recruit in the nation would want to play for me

Maybe you're just not recruiting in a way to get them, try changing up your strategy somehow. And maybe it's like real life, they want playing time, and if you have so many great guys, they won't want to sit behind somebody.

3 years Dartmouth- 3 Ivy league titles, lost first round twice, and 2nd round the other.
2 years Murray State- 2 30 win seasons, 1 sweet-sixteen
7 years Illinois Chicago- No national titles, but Horizon league titles every year. Took them from 81 to 100 overall before leaving
3 years to present WASh St.- UIC wins titles first two years I'm at WASU, Win national title 4th year (title game against UIC, whom I made into a powerhouse)
I haven't played in a while though

My strategy is to look for jobs on a team whos best players are 1st or 2nd year guys.
