David - assuming you're doing a historical "alternate universe" type league where you let OOTP take over and not follow historical transactions, then yes - the Boudreau manager will eventually get fired or sign elsewhere. Or retire.

rpriske - That IS weird. Tinker didn't start managing until 1913 - so not sure why he's in your game as a coach in 1901. If you check his bio info on his profile, is he the same player? Not sure how that might have happened. And yes, when 1902 rolls around you'll likely have a Tinker player who is a clone of the Tinker coach. Fun!

fuzzy - Yes, when player Boudreau retires it's very possible he will later come back as a second Boudreau coach, which would be odd. As I mentioned in my OP, I know OOTP used to have problems with importing retired players as coaches multiple times in different years (as if it didn't remember it had already imported that player once before), so it would be similar to that phenomenon.

So yeah - lots of fun stuff here.
