Re: Thoughts on Changing Coaches?

I think you misunderstood. I didn't mean that you see their 3 highest skills. I meant you get to see 3 random specific skills with the MAX attainable in those 3 skills. It is quite possible to see a guy who has 5's in all 3 shown skills and EVERY other skill is a 1 max. For a guy like a DC/OC who have a TON of skills, the little window is close to useless. But for the D-line, D-Back, QB, etc coaches who only have a handful of skills. It is very nice.

This doesn't always work. My ST coach has 1 for all three of those skils but have other skills at 5. And there are also many coaches who have the 3 development skill around 4 and 5 and they only have a 2 or 3 performance.

This might not be true all of the time but when i won the superbowl i checked to see if the 99 trainer was still avaialble (heard people rave about him). He was!! although there wasn't any good coaches in any other position so my coaching staff is the same except for my trainer.

Yeah, he usually sticks around. I have him, he is a house.
Performance>All, this is a good guide to follow. However, I have a coach with 1 performance, but 5 learning/str/int development, which I think is better.

Fantastic. It can be had pretty cheaply right now, and there's no reason why you shouldn't have it, especially if you're a die-hard football fan.

Yeah, it's better if you're really into Football. If you are a casual fan, this might not be for you, but for the price, you should try it.
It's not perfect, but it's way better than any other franchise mode on the big games.

What i usually judge is their performance. if its not around a 4 or 5 then i let them go unless like they are maxed out on everything

I fire just about every coach at the end of the first season and spend alot of time checking the new ones out. I will save then hire, so I can see what all of the max skills are. I hate doing this, but I dont like not being to know anything about the coach. I will also write down when they come out. But I know there are certain ones that come out in every game at the same time (DB Coach Duncan comes out after the SB).

But once I get the coaches I want I try to build them up and keep them as long as I can. I think that after they max out though the players tend to stagnante. I cant prove that...but my WR coach is at a 90+ now and my receivers are dropping more passes than ever before.
