How to unlock the Hometown Hero achievement in NCAA Football 13 - Definitive Guide
When you are entering the regular dynasty mode... it'll allow you to create a coach. Create the coach in any image you would like, then pick his alma mater. Whatever Alma Mater you chose... go to that school and be the head coach.
You can play in any game difficulty... I played it on the regular settings with no help on for recruiting, but to make this easier you could turn all the help on and put it to Rookie.
The only thing I would do (depending on the team) is create your schedule and make sure that you are playing a lot of top ranked school early in the year (this will knock them down). And make your schedule to be an A+ (this helps your ranking).
You need to finish the year ranked as #1 or #2 -- and you will play in the National Championship. Win this game and the achievement will pop for you.
Took me 4 days playing as Michigan, and I won the National Championship against Kansas State (weird I know!) haha
Other tips:
The higher ranked your team starts the year, the easier it will be to maintain that rank (as long as you don't lose). So picking Texas or Oregon will help this too.
Save after every win (i know that it autosaves, but this is a pre-caution)
If you are playing a game and are about to lose, just turn the xbox off -- reboot back into the game and pick up where you left off. (You don't have to turn the xbox off or go to dashboard - just go to the pause menu and quit the game, as long as there is time left in the game.

Rehash: Create a coach from the same school that you want to play as, win all your games, get/stay ranked #1 -- win the National Championship

All you'll need to do is win the championship with your Alma Mater as the head coach. You'll want to go undefeated during the season in order to play in the national championship game. Win the national championship for your Alma Mater and the trophy is yours.
Start up a Dynasty and select your Alma Mater as a decent 5 or 6 star team (I choose Ohio State). Make sure you select a head coaching job for the same team that you set your Alma Mater as. To make this achievement a lot easier and less time consuming, I recommend creating a custom schedule and scheduling some games with lower-ranked teams.
If you choose to simulate, make sure you have Autosave turned OFF. This way if you lose when simulating you can always revert back to the old save and try again. Continue through the season and win the BSC bowl to unlock the achievement.
