A lot of people do roleplay their character into management roles, but having an actual influence on your team in the sim would be pretty fun. I do like the idea, but just don't see it taking off in the SHL though, for a few reasons. The con of "more work and complexity for updaters" would likely kill this idea with most users on its own unfortunately, because of the outstanding issues with updating as it is, and people's general aversion to complexity. This could also turn off the crowd who opposes situations where they feel the "rich get richer", where awarding successful teams is viewed as only damaging parity in the long run. Also, I dunno if I just missed it, but would a player be able to recreate a new player while still coaching with their retired player?
