THIS IS NOT A GUTTED TEAM, AND I HAVE NO INTENTIONS OF GUTTING THE TEAM.

Due to real life obligations, I will no longer be able to own the Polk High Panthers. It is a great bunch of guys used to winning, and we've got a great system in place. I have already advertised ownership of the team in our team forum as I wished to keep the transition internal, but unfortunately no one wanted to take over.

I understand this may be the wrong forum to advertise this in, seeing as how yall are competitors but the people in this league seems like a pretty solid group. Obviously, I will not be turning the team over to an agent with a significant presence in either Alpha or Zeta, but if you know someone that is interested in getting a team, then send them my way.

Here's a quick breakdown of the team:

Success: 12-4 first season, 14-2 this season, eliminated in the 2nd round of the playoffs both times
Recruitment: Other than a small handful of players that left for their own teams/friend's teams, the vast majority of the team is intact, signed to long-term deals. A lvl 28 WR signed yesterday, and a lvl 17 (5th string) CB is coming in as well; those are two of the hardest positions to recruit!
Stadium: Purchased 4 sections this offseason, so the lower bowl will be filled, and will have one 200 level corner section.
Front office: Need dedicated DC, but I am willing to be (and want to be) the OC. As for my offensive track record, we finished 4th in passing yardage and 2nd in rushing yards with the best O-line in the league, and I have a strong grasp of the offensive AI. I can also continue being the financial advisor for the team, as we should have one of the top 2 stadiums in the conference to start the year.
Team: Best offensively balanced team in the conference, and defensively we were top 4 in rushing yards allowed, passing yards allowed and points per game allowed this past season.
History: There is a running thread in the team forum with team statistical history; I update this after every game and during every offseason. Nice way to see who's come through the team and their accomplishments. I will continue to do this for the team.

As you can tell, you will not be coming into a bad situation at all. There have been no mass defections from the team, and everyone that is there now, will be on board next season. I really don't want to give up the team, but I am just too competitive for my own good, and can't put in the time anymore to run it properly.

Please PM me if you are interested, and feel free to give a heads up to anyone else if they are interested in owning a team as well. I will be thoroughly interviewing anyone interested, so this will not be done on a "first-come, first-served" basis; only serious inquiries please.

Sorry to see your ownership possibly end, but with you sticking around as OC, I hope to see you as active in the forums.

If I were not the head coach of Tilburg, I'd be on this like flies on shit!

AS head coach of Tilburg, I will gladly pay you $100 paypal to get temporary ownership - long enough to release all your players!


$100.. can be yours..

do it...


do it...

Good luck to you wally, I hope everything is ok. You did a fantastic job as an owner. What about hiring a GM to be the head coach there and you'll just cover the 400 flex points?

Thanks guys, we'll see what happens. Not going to lie, it's getting to be crunch time. There have been a couple people interested but they already own teams.. I PM'ed support and they don't allow anyone to own two teams; no exceptions. I would HATE to gut the team, but there's a reasonable chance it may happen since the season is so close.

As for finding a *reliable* head coach... it's tough. I actually brought in two OC's last season and neither panned out, and the DC's we've had have been wildly inconsistent in putting in time. Doesn't need to be said... but yeah, I picked up a LOT of slack last season.
