Took over a team midseason and now it's the start of the next season. Need to hire some coaches and would like to upgrade some coaches but I get a warning that I do not have enough cash even for their base contract whenever I try to hire any coach. 1.) If I upgrade a coach which will fire a current coach, will the fired coaches contract still count against me? 2.) what do I do about replacing coaches who left but I don't have the cash to hire a replacement?
Coaches are not like players, once a coach is fired his salary is off your books. The calculator is using the worst case scenario (i.e. if you are replacing all coaches it is assuming that the one replacing the highest salary will reject the contract). You can go ahead and submit the offers, if they don't work out you don't have any penalty, but if you can make the offers without the warning you are in a better position to have them accepted.
If the coaches are unemployed, you don't have to offer what they ask for. Some leagues have position coach salaries out of whack, so make sure you're not overpaying them.
