Nah, at the end of every year, just after running CatoBase, I'd fire/retire some managers, and hire and re-hire some guys to take their place - specifically so the manager pages in CatoBase would look more "real" and add more storyline to my dynasty. I do it by just changing the name under team setup. I will usually fire a guy if he loses 100 games, finishes in 5th or 6th two seasons in a row, or just generally sucks for three or four or more years. In some bigger markets, I have fired guys more quickly. And some managers are staying with their team their entire careers, some for 25+ years.
I took over a vacancy as a manager after season #25, and at some point in the future, I'll move on to another team. I wanted to track it without using Manager Mode, which I hate.
I have a spreadsheet that I use to track the hirings and firings of managers, to make sure I don't have the same guy in two places at once, and so I can bring back guys and let them manage multiple teams (Sammy Nesbit!). The spreadsheet is posted in my dynasty thread, (shameless plug) which is linked in my signature.
Oh, and my dynasty is a direct result of your original OOTP dynasty on FOFCentral, SkyDog, posted in April. I read along until you dropped it, and then started my own. I've patterned by monthly reports pretty closely off of what you did, so thanks for the inspiration. :-)
