Our next item to deal with is coaches.
The first step is to give each team an opportunity to re-sign their current coach if that coach's contract has expired. Here is a list of coaches needing to be re-newed, and the amount of their last deal
=====================

=====================
Now we did lose some data during the rollover. If your coach isn't listed above AND is in need of a new deal please post their name and I'll look up their last contract.
To retain a coach that needs a new deal their team must offer one of the following:
25% raise for a 1 year extension
20% raise for a 2 year extension
15% raise for a 3 year extension
Teams must email
cphlufa@yahoo.com by Wedneday @ 3 pm (MST) with their offer to retain their coach. Teams that don't will have their coaches become free agents.
If you are firing your coach this off-season please send an email to
cphlufa@yahoo.com by the same deadline.
Once the re-signing period passes and the deals are processed any remaining coaches will be free agents and available through an open bid system.
