I don't like making it a budget. I like hiring individual names. If I could only change one thing in coach hiring I'd make it so that any Minor League coach who hasn't received an offer on the last day of coach hiring will accept any job at any level--but he will always leave and look for a better opportunity after the season; and any ML coach who goes unhired will accept any job at any level the next season. The thing that drives me nuts is when some coach thinks my HiA job is beneath him (because he wants to work in AA) even though I'm offering him double his salary demands. C'mon man!

The problem with this is nobody will sign lower MinL coaches until the last cycle because that will get the best coaches at those levels.

The best of the leftover coaches will all get multiple bids. So some teams won't get any of their 3 picks. And the sim will pick a coach. And people will be ******.

Trying to apply an incremental improvement to a bad idea like the way coaching works now rarely improves anything. I needs to be blown up. Either no levels or just a budget, like everything else.

New ownership offers a glimmer of hope. SportsHub seems to understand making money on the internet. Something Fox Sports didn't care about doing.

Every minute every customer spends doing something boring, not fun, not strategy, no way to know if / how it's improving their fake or fantasy team, is time they're not checking out or buying more stuff from HubSpot. Or clicking on an ad on a HubSpot webpage.

Coach hiring is an economic drain on HBD, WIS, and SportsHub. Simplifying it puts money in their pocket.

So I'm going to hope the realize this, too.

If coach hiring is stressing you out that much, then you're doing something drastically wrong. As strikeout26 said, you shouldn't be spending more than 10 minutes a day on it. And that will get you good coaches.

It ain't rocket surgery.

If you're spending 10 minutes a day, you're making simplifying assumptions that may or may not be correct. And that's fine for you. But it's still 10 minutes of no fun every day. I'd rather not have to log into a game to do something not fun for 10 minutes every day for about a week. But that's me. Your life might suck. And that's fine for you.

How sucky is one's life when they show up 5 weeks later to ago a point?

Haha. I was actually going to say that.
