    As far as the OC's and DC's are pretty much just coordinators, i don't buy that at all. My HC was Hartfords DC for a few years and then i brought him in as HC. I'm sure there have been other times this has happened in the league.

    You say its a game and not the NFL. Well, to me its a flaw in the game that can somewhat be fixed by us in a easy way.

    Whats the big deal in a small rule change when it betters the game we play??
    I don't want anyone to think it's a bad suggestion. I'm just stating my personal preference.

    I believe it is rare that you sign a coordinator to a head coaching position. Pretty much all coaches in the NFL were coordinators at one point. It's not even close in FOF. That's what I was saying

Now...it seems like we are experiencing a market correction and everyone wants to make money. Maybe its Ben's article, but In order to do so an owner has to look at everything, which up til now...I doubt some of us were doing...maybe I speak only for myself.
      i've always looked at the financials because of how I used to play FOF solo play. I had a self imposed cash flow cap where I either had the money or I didn't, and if I didn't I couldn't sign players. none of this losing $100mil /yr

        when I ran the Mules promoted LAs OC Vera to Mules HC. Average at best.


        But generally I agree with you Matt that most OC/DC are best left as OC/DC, but then there is always the tactic of promoting your division rivals OC/DC to a 1 year deal as your HC just to mess them up.

          I could care less, really. I just suggested the rule as another layer of immersion. Make the most boring part of the game, fun.

          Personally, I like to hire young guys and watch them develop. I just suggested this rule because it makes it more interesting.
          Yep, I've always hired young coaches with potential. They start out with a bunch of averages with a few goods thrown in...get em when their 39-44 and after 5 years or so, if you've made good choice they can really explode into great coaches. I can't get a decent scout to save my life, but I've been lucky enough to get good coaches. I guess for me that's why I'm in favor of the new idea for a "1st shot at resigning" rule. It sucks to spend 5 seasons waiting for a coach to improve, then watch the Lawrence's and Norfolks just sign him once he's good. haha.

            My plan of franchising WR Martin Witt backfired. He wants an insane amount of money to resign.

                Surprisingly weak FA class this year, even for this league. I'm sure it'll get better as those 80+ players start causing cap problems for some teams though.

                  Yea, I'm gonna need a calculator and a Master's degree in finance to figure out how to resign the "big 3" this year. And I only got 24 hours to do it.

                    are you certain? Im fairly certain I carried a negative cap for a few stages in the pre season last year.

                    Can anyone confirm when the game (what the stage is) makes the cap truly bite you in the ass?

                        Well.........I was referring to the fact I have to sign 20 players, and have zero cash to do it. So resigning them is priority number one, then I can dink around with how to free up some more cash.
