IRL coaches have followings where they can learn the nuances of schemes till they feel there is better than the teacher. Here position coaches have complete different schemes. That is the main problem. Really one thing matters. Ratings, higher the better.
Its not real at all. Coaches cant just fly around and work with who ever at the drop of a dime. Tons of trust and cohesion goes on. A master will only show his tricks to a worthy apprentice. One he knows will stick with him for a bit. Through the good and the bad.
How about have them become more familar with the plays they run. Even as a position coach they may be getting familar with a different schemes plays but his experience with the plays he knows is what should boost players skill in games.
It would be alot harder to decide who was a good fit for your team. And keeping guys together would have more of a benefit than simply who is the best at teaching man to man. Or who has the highest rating.
Besides the plays they run the only difference is who can develop players. To me those are motivators or coaches who are good at developing players.
This would add another kind of coach. One who has experience and knows his ****. The more times this guy runs a particular play the better he is at teaching to his players and coincidentaly they execute better in a game. Still use the splits the same. The head coaches play familarity matters most and so on like the in game boost based off there ratings.
A coach who has both is the one who i will poach. He has to have a clear advantage in both development and play knowledge or just my team. But fitting a scheme should be more important than the ability to develope.
Getting a clear advantage can only happen when he has a staff that he has taught to think like him. Or in the rarer case he fits well somewhere else because that guy learned the same scheme under another coach from that same coaching tree.
The key here is the more same plays your coaching staff has together the higher the in game boost should be. So powerful of a boost the desire for a coach with high developmental skills is lost. Or at least balance the level so one is not desired more than the other.
Its like Belicheck. No body really likes him but i think he has a clear advantage for my team cause my player fit his scheme. I will pay millions for his mastery of the game and his ability to teach exectuion. But he is great at developing players too! That is why he is in the disscussion at the best right now. Is he the highest paid? I dont even know, but boy does he know his plays and i would pay.
