How to switch teams as a head coach in connected career?

I have no idea how to do this I started a coach career with the bengals and I want to switch to another team.

Answers

You cannot change teams until you reach a contract year. At this point you'll either be fired or offered a contract extension. If you are fired or decline the extension other teams may, nor may not, offer you a contract. Which teams offer you a contract is determined by the CPU.
You're better off starting over.

In Franchise mode, how do I get switch teams?

I just made it to the playoffs. And I want to switch teams.
I see that the "Demand Release" option is unshaded even though its the playoffs. So how do I leave my team after 15 years and go elsewhere. And after every season, they give me a contract extension.

How do I jump to another team for the next season?

You're talking as a player, not a coach right? You have to wait until the next turn after the Super Bowl, then demand release and wait until the free agency starts to actually get offers from teams, but if no one offers you a contract then, you will be forced to retire that character.

No, as a coach.

So “Demand Release” is only as a player. That makes sense. I’m trying to jump over and coach a different team. Kind of a worst to first attempt. Plus I want a new conference.

I think you can still demand your release as a coach at the same spot, after the Super Bowl, but unlike a player, you don't need to retire if no team hires you, you just end up waiting until the next season I think, so try to check and see if any team has an opening at head coach so they can hire you when you do get released. You also might be able to just pick the team you want to coach, make a new character as an owner, fire the coach it has, then immediately retire that owner, that might free up a spot for the AI to turn around and hire you as the coach.

I created an owner of my new team, but couldn’t figure out how to fire my coach. It wasn’t an option under the “Owner” menu. Do you know how to fire?

Also, can a coach not get to level 31? Is 30 as high as you go?

Moonlit_DeathX 4 years ago#6

To fire a coach as an owner, you need to go under your Staff screen (it should be somewhere under your owner options) and press Triangle if it says make staff changes or something like that, that option isn't always there though, it depends what week it is sometimes. And I'm pretty sure 30 is the most it goes, I don't think I have ever seen anything higher.
