You mighty want to clarify that very terse statement. Some new owners might interpret that to mean that you should not spend any budget money on hiring coaches, and just let the AI hire your coaches for you.

They do have an effect on ratings development, either by maximizing gains, or minimizing losses.

The coaching thing is a hassle, but not so much that it's worth getting too worked up about it. What I would like to see is the ability to fire a hitting coach or pitching coach during the season if the team is sucking in the areas they oversee. We should be able to hire an unemployed coach or promote one from the minors. Would make the coach aspect a tad more interesting.
This is what I'm looking for - a FIRE option for coaches. If coaching matters - and they say it does - then owners should have the ability to bring in new blood.

The same effect getting your manager ejected would have? (not being snarky, legit offering that up as a reason)

But that's not programmed in.   Are you suggesting that also?

Players receive a temporary ratings boost when the manager is ejected.

Coaches affect development.   Are you suggesting temporary development when a coach is fired?

I'm not suggesting anything as this isn't my issue. I simply offered that up as a possible outcome of coach firing.

OK.  So, at this point, there no reason to fire a coach.   Nothing happens if you do.   Good enough for me.

However, if I were to suggest it, yeah I'd say a boost in ratings would coincide, provided that the new coach is better, of course.

So, basically, you're proposing that firing a coach would give an auto boost to all players under said new coach, provided his ratings are better than the previous coach.   Core ratings and/or secondary ratings?

If this worked, wouldn't half the teams in every world fire multiple coaches all the time?  And where would the budget for it come from?

Ratings related to the new coach's role. So, if it was a hitting coach, say two points total between con/vsl/vsr/pow/eye and another point between bunt/base running/speed. If it was a pitching coach, same thing. Two or three points total between con/vsl/vsr/p1/p2 and another point or two between vel/gbfb/p3/p4/p5. 

Those bonuses could only apply to players at the current level of that coach and would only apply to two or three players selected at random by Simmy, like a DitR.
