Coach hires

Pittsburgh decided to fire nearly all the coaching staff, retaining only three coaches. Darn, I almost forgot I wanted to fire all those guys! I have high hopes for the new staff.

I'd also like to request a feature to see a coaches employment history in his file.

Oh, and a question: what keeps us from offering the maximum for all coaches we want to hire?

Unlike the salary cap, your cash flow for coaches cannot be exceeded. Because you don't know whether a coach you offer will accept, the calculator uses the highest salary of the coach pending firing or the new coach for each position, and makes sure that you don't exceed your total cash flow.

Did you hire my former coach? I got a new coach too, to get a better play selection on defense.

Unfortunately I've no idea, since coach cards have no information about where they used to work. Would love it if they did, helps the immersion thing.

Coach history just added to the coach card as well as the coach page. So you can now answer the question ... :-)

Lovely, thanks!

No, zootmurph, looks like the guy I got is a first year coach

Yeah, I knew. Tirado was our former coach. You could see their previous record, just not the full history :)

Speaking of new coaches, we just played our first game with a newly renovated coaching staff...I'd say 37-3 means it made a bit of a difference ;)

But is it, really, or does it only count for the developing of the bars during TC?
