What the benefit of a high CP Head Coach...one that exceeds any of the assistant coaches by a lot?

I've noticed that a lot of team shave 90+ HC and then their highest AC is in the low 80's.

Thanks,

Steve

Being one the greatest manager of the game does not prevent you to read the manual Steve.

Im my opinion there are two benefits:
- more bonus points at each training for the youth academy
- HC CP has an impact on how well the team play during games

For this second aspect, I recon that it is an interpretation from the manual that can be challenged. The manual says:

* The HC has a direct influence on the game play as well. His knowledge about Football will influence the acting of the ACs, and if your HC is less consistent or less experienced, your ACs might act a little bit worse than expected. *

We can understand that high HC CP AND its con and exp impact AC performance.

Or

We can understand that HC impacts AC performance BECAUSE of its con and exp.

Only Pete will be able to clarify.

In my case, I chose to home-grow my whole roster so far. Therefore the first point alone is still very appealing.

It really a trade-off right...a better Head Coach, means worse Assistants.

I've taken a more wage-efficient approach in the past, but have a couple of retiring coaches and thought I'd re-evaluate.

Why? Because of the salary impact? I do believe it can be compensated. Let’s say your HC is 5 points higher than your best AC, that’s maybe 10 millions more a season in salary (to be confirmed). If it allows you to have better youth (and then better starters) and if it does impact the overall performance (not only con and exp), we can imagine it may make you win some PO games. Also you may get more money on selling some of your players who benefited the bonus points.

Thanks for the confirmation. My understanding was right then. I'd send you a case of Guiness but my post office is closed.

This is from my guide which I did updated last time in Summer 2017.

A few words on the HC:
The HC does somehow influence all aspects of the ACs performance, but the manual does not reveal how, so it’s anybody’s guess how he does that.
Here is my guess.
The manual does state very clearly that the HCs CP does influence the max level of the ACs, so if you do have a HC with a CP level of let’s say 70, you can’t hire an AC with level 71. You need a HC with a level equal of higher than the highest AC level.
Now comes the in game influence of the HC on training and games.
Each coach has EXP and CON and for every event the calculated CP is used (see chapter 04 for training how this is done or the manual). It can happen that the calculated CP of the HC is lower than the calculated CP of one or more ACs.
Here is my guess: The calculated CP level of the HC is also the max level for all ACs on gameday.
What does that mean?
Think about a CP level 70 HC and some ACs the same level. Now the calculated CP is done for each coach, HC and AC. The HC gets 65, because of low EXP and low CON, while all ACs have high EXP and CON and get 70+ calculated CP. My guess is now, that for all ACs the CP-level of 65 is used on that event. That can be a game or training.
If that’s true, it can be wise to have a HC a few CPs points higher than the highest ACs, or to have a high EXP HC, to ensure that his calculated CPs are most of the time higher than the calculated CP of your ACs.

If this is close to the truth or true, it's simple math and willingness regarding budget to secure the HC you need and like to have.

The other reason to consider a higher CP HC is it allows you to have a single AC with higher CP too. If you pick a versatile AC, like an LB coach, you can get all of your youth players trained at a higher level. Over the course of 4-5 seasons, that can add up. The cost trade offs are real, and with this version there is also a cost of a point or two off the rest of you ACs to accommodate one higher CP AC.
