Step off the field and into the front office. Gridiron Manager is an uncompromising, data-driven American Football simulation. Take total control of a College or Professional program, build your roster, and call the plays on a real-time tactical chalkboard. No stick skills required.

If you spend more time looking at depth charts than watching the quarterback, you belong in the front office.Gridiron Manager is a hardcore management simulation built specifically for American Football. There are no reflex-based mini-games, no scripted animations, and no controller stick-skills to bail you out. You are the Head Coach and General Manager, and every game is won or lost entirely on your preparation, your roster, and your tactical execution.A Game of Mathematics and Physics Forget arcade mechanics. This simulation runs entirely on a deterministic 20Hz physics engine. Every single run fit, blocking assignment, and pass trajectory is calculated in real time based on player ratings and your scheme. You watch the results unfold exactly as you drew them up.The Coach's Chalkboard Command your team using a sleek, dark-mode interface designed to look like elite front-office analytics software. Swap personnel, view defensive shell previews, and call your plays on a massive, interactive 2D chalkboard.Two Unique Ecosystems Choose your proving ground and build a dynasty in either the College or Professional ranks:<ul class="bb_ul"><li>The College Game: Fight for your program's life in grueling, time-based recruiting battles, manage player eligibility, and try to survive the chaos of the transfer portal.</li><li>The Pro Game: Step into the war room to run a full-scale professional draft, balance a strict 53-man roster, and navigate complex salary caps and signing bonuses.</li></ul>Tactics matter. Scheme matters. Matchups matter. If you want to outsmart your opponent instead of out-clicking them, your new front office is waiting.
