Hi guys,
Sorry for joining the party so late.
I've done some testing on this in my beta of Patch 2, and I don't see any issues right now. I set the coach salary average to 85K in a fictional league, started the game, and all of the coaches are making right in that area, with the higher-ranked ones making a decent chunk more and the weakest ones making far less.
So, for now, I'm going to mark this as "claimed fixed." We can certainly discuss more if you have a specific scenario you'd like me to try!
Thanks,
Steve
