The start date for the bidding process will be on January 23rd, 2010.
1. Each team has the choice of whether they would like to retain their current head coach, offensive coordinator, and defensive coordinator.
2. Position coaches may move up to the coordinator position or the head coach position.
3. Coordinators may move up to the head coach position as well as remain coordinators if they are not offered head coaching jobs.
4. Teams can "steal" retained coordinators by offering a head coaching jobs. However they cannot "steal" retained coordinators to offer them another coordinator job. Retained coordinators can be promoted to head coach if they fire the head coach first. In house promotions must be made before the bidding process.
5. Each team will receive $10 million in their bank.
6. Retained salaries go as following: $5 million for head coach ; $2.5 million for offensive coordinator ; $2.5 million for defensive coordinator.
7. Free agent head coaches and coordinators have minimum salaries: $3 million for head coach ; $1.5 million for offensive coordinator ; $1.5 million for defensive coordinator.
8. Coaching staffs are frozen as of 2:00AM ET on January 19th, 2010. So NFL teams like the Seahawks will have a recently hired coach (Pete Carroll) that they must decide if they want to retain him regardless. Some NFL teams will have a vacant position (such as Miami Dolphins and their defense coordinator position) that will need to be filled.
9. Expect a PM from me sometime soon asking if you'll be retaining your coaches, the team list should go up sometime tomorrow.
10. Teams will bid on coaches, like in free agency. When a coach is bid on, if he goes 48 hours without someone else raising the bid, he is awarded to the bidding team..
11. Teams must raise bids by at least $100K.
12. The max bid for a head coach is 7 mil. When a head coach hits 7 mil, all teams will have the opportunity to match the 7 mil bid within 24 hours. The max bid for a coordinator is 3 mil, teams will also have the opportunity to match that 3 mil bid.
13. The teams that matched a 7 mil bid will be placed in a pool where a randomizer will decide the destination for the coach (like in real life, money isn't everything). The same thing goes for the 3 mil bid for coordinators.
14. You CANNOT hire a coach that has been out for coaching for over 5 years, college coaches, and fictional characters.
15. You cannot fire coaches that you have signed via Coaching Free Agency.

I wonder why that rule was created.... :shifty:
-
-
It just makes things easier...
-
Uhmm..... WHAT? This is an interesting turn of new events.
-
-
Not gonna tell us who are you :pity:
I too had a couple of college coaches in mind, none of which have been mentioned here.
-
NOTE: Mat, you're gonna have to draw a line in the dateline sand as far as which coach belongs to whom.
As we are seeing with Mike Nolan, I imagine there are going to be many more coaching changes before the season is over :yes:
-
EDIT: Nevermind, I just re-read #8. I AM STooooooopid :pity: -
-
You're gonna hire Sparky Anderson and turn it into a Baseball team?
The two guys I was thinking of are both from my Alma Matter :up: -
I was thinking he would be great as a "Jock sniffer" or "Guy who picks up soap as it is dropped in the shower"...
Anybody catch a glimpse of his pic at sportsline this morning :sidelol: Looks like he is already doing the latter job :shifty: -
Correct, sir.
-
so much for mangini. he was always a fictional coach
-
So.....can you demote a head coach to a co-ordinator position. :shifty:
-
jason garretts *** is FIRED
-
Noooope. Sorry sir.
-
Go back and re-read the rules grasshopper!
You have to wait till the 23rd and then BID on them :up:
-
EDIT: Oh, and you have to give me draft picks if you bid against me :yes:GridIronKing34 likes this. -
Wise man right here...
-
Yes, you can. HOWEVER keep in mind that someone else can hire as him as a head coach even after you've already signed him if they wish. It's unlikely to happen but nonetheless.alen1 likes this.

AND, they still have to bid on, correct?
-
Ok question. I plan on retaining both sparano and henning. I need a dc. I only have three mill to spend on a new dc right? Not 10 mill?? If i place a max bid on a dc and lose to the randomizer do i get an opportunity to bid on other dc,s before their bidding process ends?
-
Yeah, that.
I see mass mayhem on a couple of coaches, and bidding is more than likely going to start at the max to begin with. :confused2: -
Paul,
If you retain Henning and Sparano, you'll have $2.5 mil to work with. $5.0M + $2.5M = $7.5M ($2.5M remaining)
$3.0 mil is the max bid for a coordinator, when it reaches that point.. teams will have 24 hours to match the offer. Then the winner will be decided by a randomizer via www.randomizer.org
Likewise for a head coach, except the max bid is $7.0Mazfinfanmang and Paul 13 like this. -
Noooope. You can fire Henning and then have $5M to play with...
-
-
...I think we need to make a pop-up book or something to explain the rules to Paul...thats what she said, Paul 13, SICK and 3 others like this.

GIK I have to say I REALLY don't agree with this. Once a coach has been signed in the bidding process they should be off the market. Now if a coordinator is retained that's different obviously.
If a team didn't want to bid on him as a HC previously, why should they get to after they sign a contract? A QB cant go somewhere to back up, then go, hey the Bengals offered me money to be a starter so I'm going there instead, even though I just signed.alen1 likes this.
