The long awaited return of EA Sports College Football 25 is nearly here, as College Football fans haven’t had a title to play since NCAA Football 2014.
Now, the game will be featuring some powerhouse teams and some real life moments such as the coaching carousel.
Here's how it'll work.
How Does The Coach Carousel Work In EA Sports College Football 25
One of the best aspects of any football game is trying to bring your favorite team to the top, and this will be relevant for all College football fans, as there’s over 100 FBS schools for players to choose from.
Just like actual College Football, coaches will be on the move quite a bit, especially during the off-season, and EA has noted the following into how this lengthy process will work.
The carousel kicks off during Conference Championship week. During this week, all coach contracts are processed and schools determine if they want to fire, extend, or let a coach’s contract expire. If your school has decided to fire or extend you, you’ll receive an action item notifying you of the news. If you are the head coach, you’ll also be able to fire your coordinators during this week (more on that later).
Once you advance the week and arrive in bowl season, the first round of job offers go out. If you received any job offers, you will be notified via an action item titled “View Job Offers”. If you did not receive any offers, you will have a generic action item titled “Coach Carousel”. Pressing the action item will take you to the coach carousel screen where you can view any job offers you have, as well as all of the open jobs around the country.
Just because you didn’t receive any offers in the first week of bowl season or if you didn’t like the offers you received, doesn’t mean your carousel experience is over. Remember, the coach carousel takes place over the course of multiple weeks. The first week of bowl season is just the beginning. As schools hire and poach coaches from other schools, their previous jobs will become available as an unexpected job opening and the schools will look to hire a replacement the following week.
When viewing a job offer, you will see the school’s new coach preferences, what happened to their previous coach, and who the top candidates are for the job. You will also see the contract they are offering you and what the contract expectations are. Once you accept an offer, you will stay with your current school until after the National Championship game, which is when all job changes are processed. This allows you to take one last ride with your current team and coach any bowl games they play in.
There will be a countdown in the top right corner of the Dynasty Hub informing you how many weeks are remaining until you change jobs.
