I know I’m very new to the league, and I have no idea of the feasibility of the suggestion that I’m about to make, but I think that a change that would make the league more exciting is having coaches for each team that call the plays. We already have gms, so why not coaches? This idea came to me after watching my team’s (the Norfolk Seawolves) week one game. There were multiple instances where I felt that the play calling of the sim just wasn’t up to snuff. There were multiple 4th and shorts that I felt we could have gone for, but instead we punted. Also, there was at least one set of downs where we ran the ball 3 plays in a row, then punted. If there were actual people calling the plays for the teams, it would add an all new level of interactivity that the league has never seen before. Again, it’s probably impossible for the sim to have someone choose the plays, and it would probably be difficult to choose who the coaches are, but I feel that it would lead to a better product for the viewer.
