Thanks Armor. I just got finished with the draft but haven't advanced to year 2 yet. I checked the free agent list and there's some big names still not signed so I think I'll do what you did. Also I don't do any trades so I think I'll try out the way you do it.
I have coach firing on and have the other 31 teams on auto-pilot and just turn off auto-pilot for the team I'm playing that week so it will disable the drive goals. In doing this the teams that fire their coach or have their coach's contract expire they will resign them or hire a new coach.
