I'm losing coaches during each stage of free agency... they all had more than 1 yr left on contract.

Nothing in my trans log.

***?????

Other players are hiring them into a better position for more money.

This is completely unnecessary, any player or coach leaving your team should be listed in transactions, REALLY annoying

Check your transaction filter under coaches.

It's actually not there, it's something that I need to add though. It won't be in the next version of the game engine but I've got it on the list for the following version.

I had a coach poached for the first time this offseason. My feelings are that you should be notified of the offer, and given a chance to keep them by making them a similar offer. It shouldn't be allowed to happen completely behind your back.

yeah... i felt blindsided :)

i know that feeling. i didnt pay attention to one of my teams and played the entire season with out an OC.

Why? The only reason they are getting poached is for their offensive/defensive playbooks. While your OC/DC have a moderate effect on your players development, they are easily replaced by poaching from another team.

This is one of the many things wrong with this site. In the NFL, NCAA, and even high school, the coach under contract has to seek permission to seek a better job and break their contract, therefore giving the owner of the contract an indication of the coach's intent, and possibly being able to match or improve it.

But then when you have successful others who justify it and even encourage poaching and stealing from another, just so they can continue to be successful and show everyone how to be successful like they are, it says a lot about the ethics and integrity of others.

So I agree that the current owner of a coach under contract should have the right to match an offer from another, or at least be asked for permission and made aware that another team wishes to interview a coach under contract. If not, why have a contract? Just eliminate all the coaches each season and have a coach allocation to each team.
