Description
Recruit. Strategize. Win.
Take control of your own college football program and bring it to glory!
In College Football Coach, you play the newly-hired head coach at your college of choice. As head coach, it will be your responsibility to manage your team's strategy, play through seasons, recruit new players, and above all, win national championships.
When you start your career, you'll inherit a roster of 48 players (23 starters) and you can select how you want them deployed by picking from different playbooks on offense and defense. Each of these playbooks gives your team different in-game stat boosts that could help (or hurt!) them against their next opponent.
Your team will play 12 games in the regular season: nine against your conference opponents once and three out-of-conference games. The most important game of the regular season is your rivalry game: winning it will net you more program prestige points, while losing it will cost you some.
Want to put on a headset and roam the sidelines yourself? You can call plays LIVE by selecting the “Play Game” option when starting a new game week! Each playbook has 10 different plays to choose from, hand-selected from historic and current team playbooks and each with their own unique set of in-game bonuses. Don’t want to worry about scheme or routes? Turn on “Basic Playcalling” mode in the Settings panel and cruise to victory with a simpler set of plays on your play sheet.
As your team progresses through the season, pollsters will determine how good (or bad) your team is compared to others. Where you’re ranked will be determined by a number of factors: wins, margin of victory, strength of schedule, and more, and determines who gets into a bowl game and the semifinals (and therefore the National Championship game). At the end of the season, your team will gain or lose prestige based on their final ranking versus their expectations!
After the season is over, you’ll get to recruit the next class of players that will lead your team to bigger and better wins. You'll face off against teams across the country for the same players, and your program's prestige will affect how good the players available to you are. Stronger teams will be able to recruit higher-quality players, while weaker teams will need to allocate their effort strategically in order to build up their rosters.
All of that sound fun to you? Establish your own college football dynasty - play College Football Coach today!

Ratings and Reviews

This is a fantastic game to play in our free time. It really passes the time which definetly helped me get through quarantine. I think everything you have added to the game is great and I do really think that you have created something great here. There is one thing I would like to give you as a challenge to add to your game though. This is not the only free sports game that I play in my free time. There is a very popular group of free sports simulation games known as Zen GM. These games are all different in their own respect, but here is one thing that they all have in common that separates these Zen GM games from all other sports simulation games I have seen. Zen GM has a “God Mode” where one can take control of more then one team to create a user simulated experience. This has opened up a lot for the Zen GM games and I am also a part of the BBGM simulation leagues as well. The BBGM community is very large and has 13K people following its reddit page at the moment. I think that if this game had a God Mode like feature to it, it would be undeniable that this would be the best free college football game in the world and possibly the best college football simulation game as well. Just an idea.
Almost Perfect
I love this game. It’s fun to play and I’ve found myself accidentally spending hours playing it when I only meant to play it for 10 minutes. I love playing school mode and on hard so you can manage the coaching staff and recruit. That brings up one problem I have, recruiting. After a while, I’ll get bored of recruiting because I’m a great school with tons of program points. Once you get tons of program points and consistently have a 1-3 loss team, you can basically get every prospect you want so if the devs could add more interactions for the recruits and it being harder to get the players that’d really make this game harder and better. Another problem I have is the ranking system. Sometimes whenever I lose a game I’ll stay at the #9th ranked school in the nation but the next week when I win 52-17 I’ll move down to the 14th. Also, this game really needs to add the new twelve team playoff format because I’ll lose the conference championship sometimes and fall from 2nd to 6th in the nation and it’s frustrating because I should have made the playoffs after this great season in real life but then I’m stuck playing the Apple Bowl or whatever. Even though it seems like I just talked so badly about this game, it really is extremely entertaining and fun to play. For anyone who needs a fun mobile game to just relax on, I highly recommend this and hope the developers will make more.
Few Nitpicks
I love this game. I have spent too much time on it. I just have a few things I would like to see improved, specially in the recruiting department. First, the “Program Needs” pop-up is sometimes wrong. It is usually entirely accurate with the position and quantity needed, but sometimes it gets it wrong. Sometimes a position that you need to recruit is not on there, and sometimes the quantity is wrong too. I have had instances where I need two linebackers to meet the minimum, and the pop-up says I only need one, or sometimes it doesn’t even have linebackers on there at all. It is really frustrating and defeats the purpose of it in the first place if I still have and manually check through my roster and count how many players i’ll have at every position. My second gripe is similar, although this isn’t a bug per se. When looking at the roster during recruiting, some players are greyed out. Those players have either graduated or transferred and have left the program. I wish the count next to each position didn't include the players leaving. Because of the aforementioned issue, I have to manually count how many players I have at each position, but if the number only displayed the returning players, I wouldn’t have to. Fixing both of these would make recruiting much easier.
