Whereas in real life I feel like head coaches with big time pedigree usually get new head coaching jobs incredibly quickly, and don't generally sit unemployed (maybe I'm wrong about this perception?)
I know one of the patch items was creating less new staff, which perhaps could help, as less new staff, means existing game staff would get re-hired more often... but in my sims I'm still seeing too many head coaches who only have one tenure with one team then never coach/work again..
Anyone else seeing similar?

Also it seems like head coaches are always starting with that as their first job in the league... whereas in real life I think assistants, or OC/DC's working those jobs then getting a chance to be a head coach, is much more common.
I don't know if you normally see OC/DC/assistants graduate into head coaching roles in FOF, but in a 50 year sim I just did, I just quickly scrolled through and 0 of the head coaches in the league ever worked as a "lower" job beforehand.
A handful of them who started as head coaches got fired then accepted jobs as OC/DC/assistants, but never the other way around.
Is this a bug, or has it always just worked that way?
Been a longgggg time since I played FOF7 or 8, but I thought I remembered staff members getting head coaching jobs from OC/DC/assistant in past games?
