When you create a coach and then accept a job, you take the previous coach's job and he becomes unemployed. When you quit a job, one of the old coaches will take your vacate job, but not necessarily the guy that had it before. IE. if you create 2 coaches, it could look like this:

Before:
ND_coach coaches ND
BSU_coach coaches Boise State.

During:
You create 2 coaches, user1 and user2 and accept the ND and BSU jobs so it's now:
user1 coaches ND
user2 coaches Boise State

You do what you wanted to do (fixed schedules, adjusted recruiting priorities, what have you) and then you have use1 and user2 quit their jobs. Since it doesn't automatically put the previous coaches back on their previous teams you could end up with:
BSU_coach coaches Notre Dame
ND_coach coaches Boise State

I've seen that happen when I created coaches to try to adjust depth charts and scheduling.

The problem is that the recruiting pitches seem to be tied to the coach (which I'd certainly classify as a bug) so the ND_coach will take his good pitches to Boise State and the BSU_coach would take his not as good pitches to ND.

I think the only way to fix it (I didn't bother to fix it and just started over) would be to try to force the coaches back to their previous teams. This would include figuring out the pattern for which coach is chosen first and then probably removing the user coach for that team and repeating until you can get the correct coaches back on their teams.
You should press "delete" coach instead of having him quit the job. When a coach is deleted, the original coach and scheme takes over. The problem here though is that I think this only works after the season has started, not if you do it at the preseason screen. If this is done at the preseason screen, I'm pretty sure a random coach takes over.
