I have been reading up on coaching hires but could not find this answer....Coaches will make lateral moves within their own teams, but will they make lateral moves (ie RB Coach to TE Coach) to a different team? Or will they take only promotions to sign with another team? If that is the case is the only way to hire new position coaches is thru unemployment, since employed coaches will only take promotions? IS that how it works?
Coaches will not make a lateral move to another team, they must move up to the next position - so you are correct, you can only hire position coaches from the unemployed coach pool. The flip side of that is that if a team does move a coach up to replace a coach, there will be at least one sim where that coach is available as an unemployed coach; during early free agency you might keep a watch on the transaction log or do a daily search for coaches to see who has become available.
