I have a question........ You see we had a good three year run with the Phantoms.....but after last season's LC in the Elite League, my Head Coach and Defensive coordinator sailed off into the sunset of retirement. Well I just hired the best rated coaches I could find and didn't think much of it.....until this season.

I don't want to make too many excuses because we did win 3 titles in a row and that is difficult as well as most of my elite players are getting.......aged let's just say. That being said........my playbook.......several of my beautiful bread n butter plays that I had the last 4 season, on both offense and defense, are gone....not available for me to use anymore. The results are clear with an offense that used to score averages of 30+ points a game....now......it is more difficult to produce yards and points. What is worse is that my defense used to be better than my offense......now with several of those Defensive plays gone.....I am forced to use alternative plays....that do not work nearly as well with the players on my team. My opponents now find it easier to keep drives alive....march down field and score points.

I understand the plays that you have available are because of the HC and maybe the coordinators. Is there a way to keep some plays you had with your retired coach? Is there a way you can see available plays from a coach before hiring them? What is the best tactics on coach hiring. I want to fire my new head coach, but signed a 3 year deal. Is there a good way out of this?

Let me just toss in a quick help here for you. Head Coach determines your play book (offensive and defensive). What you do is when your Head Coach retires - go into the transaction log and pull up his Coaching Card. Get his Offensive and Defensive Style. It's difficult to get a high rated coach in both arenas (limited). Focus on replicating the offensive side of the ball. "Pass Focused" lets say and play a matching game with the Coaching Search "ALL" in FA #1 and get the best rated guy you can.

You can mirror both offensive and defensive playing styles but will find limited results. You really never wanna lose your offensive play calls.

Not sure what you can do in the present situation with the coaching change having occurred. Someone else can walk you through a firing and re-hiring of a new coach....if possible.

Just match the retired head coaches offensive and defensive style....rating doesnt matter...the plays do.

I replaced my head coach with an identical style head coach rated 58 overall....he went 15-1
