Another suggestion, if it's not too late. Could you count a PIT championship as an NT appearance (1st round exit)? That would give teams another way to meet their goals while making the PIT somewhat exciting. It gives all those PIT teams something to play for. Isn't the PIT championship worth about the same as an NT 1st round exit for prestige calculation?
I think the new system is so much better. It seems really fair and reasonable. I also like the suggestion above. It would not affect the numbers much at all, since only one team per year would achieve this, but a PIT Championship is probably at least equal in value to a 1st round NT exit because you have to win 5 games.
I think this is very very well thought out and fair. I was concerned for myself because I took over Georgia Tech with the idea of trying to coach with zone, which has always been the most difficult defense for me. If I can't achieve these goals in seven years, I deserve to be fired.
And like someone said - may have also been mlitney, after the very first year, there will probably not be that many firings because many of them were kind of overdue.
As far as the change in prestige when a new coach takes over, maybe it could be based on the baseline prestige, but also factoring in the coach success. Soon the case of a D3 coach somehow getting a job at a B Syracuse program and the prestige going up, maybe that does not happen. But if a proven D1 experienced coach with multiple titles comes to Syracuse, then I think that is definitely realistic and appropriate. Or if a proven D1 coach takes over an A+ prestige Delaware State program, it should not go down to a B - otherwise it loses its appeal. I don't think it should go down more than a partial grade in any event because if a mediocre coach takes over an A+ Georgia program, it is likely that before long that program will be back in the B's . But maybe it goes to A.
But GREAT JOB listening and taking suggestions by you guys.
