I dunno. I'd actually be all for completely pulling gameplanning, even though I don't think it's a realistic marketing move. I'd *LOVE* to see hiring an OC with certain offensive tendencies and a DC with certain defensive tendencies, and then be up to you to find the right players to run it. At least in a GM-based sim like this. It would even be great if you tracked experience in a system (paging Cam Cameron and Trent Green) like you do cohesion between QBs and receivers.
It seems like FOF MP is primarily a gameplanning experience, as a good gameplanner can overcome poor roster material, while a good GM can't overcome poor gameplanning. Even as a guy who typically does the AI recommend thing for most settings (due to a lack of time), I still have specific tweaks I have to make each week due to limitations in the game (such as calling a 4-deep zone with a run aggressive playcall). I'm not sure that's a good thing in a sim that is focused on the GM aspects.
