How to unlock the Dual Threat Coach achievement in NCAA Football 13 - Definitive Guide

I got this extremely easily, what I did was started a new dynasty. It doesn't matter if you create a coach or use an existing coach. I chose to use an existing coach, by picking the head coach of Alabama since they are already ranked number one. Then I kept the default settings except for custom conferences. I moved Oregon and USC into the sec west conference along with south Carolina and Georgia giving me more ranked team in my division. Then I started up dynasty.

Next I clicked the set up recruiting board and created prospects. I created prospects for Qb,Hb, Fb, Wr, K, P, Mlb, TE, SS, FS and Cb. I maxed out their stats in the categories that are important for their position all these players were made as seniors in high school and from Alabama. Alabama is your main pipeline state for recruiting. I then hit the skip to recruiting and clicked search and searched for prospects in Alabama. I added every player that was a 5 star recruit (all the prospects I just created and more) as well as a few 4 star recruits. I then searched recruits that Alabama was their top interest and filled the rest of my recruiting board.

I then went to custom schedules making sure I faced ranked teams for the majority. I turned off autosave and saved my game manually. I then went to team management, edit roster and made most if my starters maxed skill at their important abilities. Hit start season and save. I then simmed my whole season winning every game. I saved before bowl season and continued dimming, making sure i continued winning. I won the bcs championship and simmed the offseason. The achievement popped after the offseason ended.
This only took me 15-20 minutes and i unlocked both this achievement and the one for having the number 1 ranked recruiting in dynasty.
It worked first time for me, if you vote negatively please leave a comment as to why. Thanks!

Great solution!!!!! If you want add a few more achievements . . .

- Make sure coaching contracts are on and sign an extension at the end of the year (20 gs)
- Rather than use an existing coach, create one and make sure your alma mata is Bama (with contracts on) (50 gs) This will also unlock the cheevo for becoming the head coach at your alma mata (35 gs)
- In the pre-season, throw 60 minutes of recruiting at your lowest ranked recruit and you'll unlock 5 attributes for (20 gs)
- In week 1 recruiting, let the prospect choose the topic, I got my (15 gs) on the first try.
- At the end of the season if you're lucky enough you'll have a prospect who wants to transfer because he's homesick (20 gs) and be able to convince a prospect to stay to get his diploma (20 gs)

Thanks to the groundwork by ssssssssssssss1 (hope I got enough s's) 9 cheevos for 365 gs in about half an hour.

Saying it took 15-20 minutes is wrong. This is going to take closer to an hour.

Excellent solution!

This takes way more than 20 minutes, with all the siimulating, I would say it's 30-40. But its sooooooo worth it.

To do this, you need to win the national championship AND have the number one recruiting class in the same season. This is easier done with a powerhouse school. My recommendation is Alabama since it's easier to recruit players with them and they already have a strong team, making it easy to win the championship.

To make things easier, you can edit the rosters for the team of your choice. You are going to want to win every game during the season so you get an invite to the national championship. You will also need to win the championship. Once you've done that, you've completed the first part.

Now, if you use Alabama, you should be able to simulate the entire recruitment period in the off-season and have the number one recruiting class.

Below is an ideal step-by-step on how to get the following trophies; Best Class Ever, Look at the Game Tape!, Don't Run Home to Momma, No Regrets, & Go Ahead, Ask Me Anything.

You are going to want to select a powerhouse college, preferable Alabama since they seem to always have the top recruiting class and the number one ranking each season. If you want to make things easier, you can max out the player's attributes in the roster management screen like you did in the last step. Just be sure to load up a new roster so that the previous team's attributes are no longer there otherwise you'll be facing a very hard team in the NCAA Championship.

All you need to do is focus on winning each week. You are going to want to sim week by week. After each win, save your game. That way if you lose, you can back out, load up to where you last won your game and redo it. At the end of the season, you should be 12-0 and be invited to play at the BCS National Championship. If for some reason you do not get invited to the championship game, back out and replay the last game of the season until you do get invited. Win the championship and you've completed part of the trophy requirements for this step. Save after you've completed this step but only if you win. If you lose, back out and sim or play until you win.

Now, all you need to do is finish up the season and then simulate to week 6 of the off-season (the week after signing day). If you're Alabama, this should come naturally without even needing to do any sort of recruiting. The trophy will pop during this week if you're the number one class. You can check to see what ranking you are in the recruiting menu in the Top Classes section.

While you do not need to do any recruiting to get the top class, there are still some recruiting related trophies you are going to want to do in this step.

Go to the second week of the off-season (Players Leaving) and check to see if any players are either transferring due to homesickness or going pro. If a player is homesick, convince him that he'll get more playing time for the Don't Run Home to Momma trophy. If a player wanting to go pro (but is still able to attend school - a Senior), promise him that he will not regret staying to get his college degree. If he agrees with you, No Regrets will unlock. If you're getting unlucky with these trophies, check the trophy guide for some tips.

Once you finish the above step, advance to the recruiting stage. In this step, you are going to want to focus on getting Look at the Game Tape! and Go Ahead, Ask me Anything trophies.

Once recruiting is done, sim to the week after signing day. At this time, you should have the number one recruitment class which unlocks Best Class Ever and Dual Threat Coach. If for some reason you do not get the top class, back out and load the dynasty up again, This time, manually do some recruiting for a couple of five star players. You should now have the trophies.

If you have already unlocked the "Best Class Ever" achievement, then you should have a good understanding of how to get ranked #1 in recruiting class. If not, then I suggest you head over to that achievement to find out how. You will need to do the same process when going for this achievement.

After completing your recruitment board, you will either need to simulate the season or play the games individually. I suggest playing the games since you could end up losing to teams when simulating the season. But if you are simulating games one-by-one, then make sure you turn off Autosave from the 'My NCAA > System Settings' menu. 

Simply simulate or play the games until you reach the BSC bowl. You can either play the bowl or simulate it but just make sure your team wins. After winning the bowl you will need to progress onto the off-season. Simulate up to Signing Day and the achievement will unlock.
