I think the current promotion system is wrong and it hurting the game as a whole. New coaches dont want to spend years coaching some hick school in DIII and many more at a margianlly famous school in DII befroe you can get to what most people consider real schools.

Everyone has to start at DIII. That is fundemental.

To move from DIII to DII the standards should be very low. 2 Complere season with a minumum of 30 wins or 3 complete seasons. This will prove a basic understanding of the game The standards are already lower than that. The standards to move up to D2 is basically, play a season at D3. In Tark, I played one season at Philly Bib, didn't pay attention, went 6-22, and the next season I went to play in Tark, I was eligible for D2.

To Move from DII to a lower DI school should only require 2 winning seasons. This will prove a deeper understanding of the game as well as a mastering of the fundemental issues like roster management.

Any moves in DI should be held up until most coaches have had a chance to apply. Then the best coach will get the job. There again should be minimum standards...I think a post season appearance at any level before you can get promoted to a new school.

This will bring amny new people to the game. They may not be great coaches, but good coaches. And a good human will be better for the game than a SIM.

The current promotion system can get you to DII if you have a heart beat. In fact that is what is WRONG with the system. Coaches moving to DII before they are ready and getting plastered by more experienced coaches till the point they give up and quit.

Everyone has to start at DIII. That is fundemental. The best thing you've said in this thread so far.

To move from DIII to DII the standards should be very low. Lower than a heart beat? Seriously ..one good season or two average seasons gets you there. If a coach cant do that in a world populated by 66% SIMS then he doesnt belong in DII.

2 Complere season with a minumum of 30 wins or 3 complete seasons. This will prove a basic understanding of the game. Again ....I thought this WAS the current system

IF no one else applies that is. Because in real life, sure you'd hold out for someone. But in this game, the SIMAI will just run the program into the ground, where I'm sitting over here grinding my teeth because I've basically got to shell out another two seasons worth of money just to put my time in for a job no one else wants.

Of course, the flip side of that is people need to get fired easier. I shouldn't be able to be miserable for 15 seasons before I get canned. Give it 3-4 seasons and you'll see a lot of job movement where people won't get upset that "HE" got "THAT JOB WITH THAT RESUME?" because they know he'll probably get canned in 2-3 seasons anyway


Agreed. The problem is, I don't think WIS wants to **** off coaches who have spent their time and money to get to D1. My response would be, "You couldn't cut it. Too bad. Pack your bags and don't let the door hit you in the *** on the way out..........Have a nice life".

Firings should REALLY be ramped up big time. My opinion is, if your sitting at a big time school (the A+/A/A- schools) and you're not making the NT consistently, it's time to go. Maybe not every season, because a lot of things can happen to ruin a season, but more than 50% of the time. If you can't do that, then it's time to go.

Of course, having said that, there has to be some qualifiers. Coaches should have at least four seasons to get their players in place, amongst other things. But after that, the clock should start ticking..............
