Not really, but sort of (and yes, this might be the nerdiest topic ever on TKP).
We're going to build a character who will be our Defensive Coordinator. We have 5 abilities that have scores that range from 0 to 7. A 7 represents a Top 5 ability, a 6 represents Top 15, a 5 Top 30, a 4 is just above average. A 3 is just below average, a 2 is well below average. A 1 is low enough that a single score that low gets you fired. Zero in an ability means you're the AD's son-in-law.
Here are the abilities:
P - Playcalling
G - Gameplanning
C - Coordinating (delegating to assistants, getting assistants to work together, mentoring staff)
R - Recruiting
B - Booster Relations (relating to boosters but also includes press and fans. I picked Booster because it started with a letter unique to the others)
Each ability starts at 1. If your coach is 1 at all of the abilities, you will end up with a defense that is statistically in the bottom five of the NCAA FBS. All abilities at 2 gets you into the bottom third and no higher.
We are using the Point Buy method of allocating abilities. You have 18 Points total that you can spend to add to each of these abilities. Spending 1 point gets you a 1 point increase in abilities, until you get to 5 (above average), then it takes 2 points to go from 5 to 6, and 2 points to go from 6 to 7. That means to bring your PC (player coach) to Top 5 in any one ability takes over half of your points (9).
So the game is: how do you allocate your points?
Here is a sample:
18 initial points. Spend 3 each on P, G, C, R. That's 12 points and gets me to just above average on everything but Booster Relations. I only spend 1 on B, so I have 5 points left. Do I leave Booster Relations at Bottom Third level, and go for Top 15 in Recruiting?
My scores for this example are below. I ended up with Just Above Average in Playcalling, Top 30 in Gameplanning and Coordinating, Top 15 in Recruiting, and Forget the Boosters (Bottom Third in Booster Relations):
4 P
5 G
5 C
6 R
2 B
