I'd probably vote for coach effects to be turned off but I'm open to any other ideas to improve the system.

i like the coaches element so I dont want to eliminate them altogether like some have suggested I agree with Colorado that the easiest solution would be to just give current coaches actual contracts but how does that change anything? teams with good coaches will just renew their coaches contracts every season while teams with bad ones will get screwed and stuck with terrible ones. again - not doing this for me, since Ftorek is rated pretty well/balanced. i just think it's pretty unfair for some other teams out there.

I would tend to agree with alex! Maybe a couple of rules to explore would be:
1. If a Coaches team finishes X number places behind the previous season in the overall standing then he should be fired. 2. If a coaches team fails to make the playoffs 3 seasons in a row then they should be fired. 3. Give coaches contracts and once their term is up, allow other teams to bid for them (much like how we do UFA's on the open market). 4. Apply an age to coaches, so that they may retire... otherwise they could end up being in the sim forever. 5. If a coach retires/changes team etc... in the NHL then that is reflected in our sim (that would create a totally random process, which could be interesting).
As for increasing/decreasing stats... we already have a system in place, maybe that could be tweaked a little more so that coaches stats move more dramatically each season?
I'm not saying we should do any or all of those ideas... just putting some of my ideas out there to explore!

I'm not saying we should do any or all of those ideas... just putting some of my ideas out there to explore! idea #1 is tough because...who is going to keep track of that? Nick already has enough work on his hand to add to it. idea #2 wouldnt have much of an effect i dont think. rarely have teams missed the playoffs 3 years in a row. and its usually the teams with crappy coaches missing. #3 could work, but we all have so much money that coaches would be getting 10s of millions of dollar bids lol. could get pretty ridiculous #4 - alot of coaches in this sim should be retired. mine included. it's been a while since ftorek, keenan, larry robinson, etc. have all coached in the nhl. same goes for idea #5. alot of the better coaches arent even in the nhl anymore and as far as changing ratings. i dont think nick has been keeping up with that. if he has been then i'm getting screwed cuz ftorek's ratings haven't changed since the first season.

Willing to do whatever with the coaches, but wont make any changes until after the season.
I wouldn't mind re-rating the coaches to make them more in line with real life, however the only way to change a coaches ratings are to delete them and re-create them.

We are going to changing the coaching system up in the offseason. I'm looking for someone to volunteer to do the coaching rerates.
