ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for simulating the coaching career of a collegiate football coach. The game simulates factors encountered by a coach whose long term objective is to advance his career from coaching at a minor level team to a higher level team. The game utilizes a game board having an inside track and an outside track. The inside track is a recruiting season track which simulates the conditions involved in recruiting the best available players. The outside track is a playing season track where the coaches try to defeat other teams. The game begins by first moving pieces representing coaches along the inside track recruiting players during the first recruiting season and then proceeding to the first playing season on the outside track. A coaching year represents one lap around the recruiting season track and one lap around the playing season track. The game board and related pieces cooperate to give successful recruiting coaches a higher probability of achieving a successful playing season. At the end of each year, a successful coach who has had the most successful playing season will receive honors. Coaches advance to higher level coaching positions after a certain period of years. This period is reduced by being successful as a coach.
