Once again 5 coveted spots in the 2nd or 3rd (sometimes 4th, ok) best conference in a semi-washed up world are up for grabs.
Limited time offer. Sign up for one of the 5 open positions, AND SEND ME A SITEMAIL indicating you want to participate in the challenge, and if one of the new coaches wins the CT in the next 4 seasons I will buy them a 5 pack. Simple. (If you sign up and DON'T sitemail me and then win the CT, tough...)
The teams are:
Oklahoma Panhandle St Aggies. The most illustrious season in Aggies history is the 18-11 29 RPI NT 2nd finish by simai in season 1. We just finished season 78. Can't anybody do anything with this team? Surely someone out there has more balls than brains and is up for this challenge? They return 9 human recruited players (for better of worse) and run fb/zone.
St. Edward's Hilltoppers. St. Ed's have never been world beaters, but they have experienced sustained periods of postseason play, so it must be possible. Plus their banner color is a nice, slimming black. They seem to have a handful of serviceable simai recruited players returning and run motion/press.
W. Alabama Tigers. For a number of recent seasons veteran Heartland alum collegeboss7 guided the Tigers to many, many NT appearances. The team is regressing slowly as other human coaches have moved on as well. Someone save this proud program from oblivion! 6 human kids, 3 simai return to a triangle/man set.
Incarnate Word Cardinals. Not all that long ago reddyred won 2 national championships in 3 seasons, and in the 10 or so seasons surrounding that run made the E8 and S16 a bunch as well. Are you gonna let reddyred get over on you like that? I didn't think so...6 of his players actually return (5 for their final season) to a triangle/zone.
N Alabama Lions. The Lions run triangle/man. The last human recruited players are on their way out the door after a lackluster 8-19. The program needs a savior. Are you the new Simba?
