You dont need to make 4 bids every 24 hours. You only need to do that if you increment your bids in marginal amounts, which is pointless.
Initial bid, bid what you think someone is worth, find out where you stand, at the next half cycle, you're either #1 or not.
If you#re not #1, decide how much more you're willing to pay, make a second bid.
Second bid, your top offer, if you're not #1 at the next cycle, move on to someone else.

This works for FA, and Coach hiring, it saves you mental anguish, and not wasting your time bidding contracts up in dumb 500k/yr increments, which is infuriating to bid against. Since i reside 4H+ of EST, i'm always asleep, at the first FA/Coach signing cycles. If i can manage when i'm asleep, i dont know what anyone else is whining about.

As crump said, coach hiring and free agency are only as hard as you make it.   Determine worth and bid that amount within 2-3 cycles.   If you never got high bid, you probably never will.   Move on.
