Coaching staffs

Please add some type of percentage modifier in regards to foreign coaches. Having legendary American managers take bench coach jobs in the Australian league and Korean gm's work in Mexico lacks realism.

Also seems like most of the time when a manager is fired, most if not all of his coaching staff get the ax with him also. Would be realistic and also make for more movement of coaches.

I wandered into this part of the forum with the intention of re-suggesting something else I mentioned months ago, and found this thread which is basically the same idea.

My specific suggestion is to include options to "Allow Personnel to Leave League" and "Allow Personnel from Other Leagues", which shouldn't(?) be that difficult to add, since those same things already exist for free agent players. It breaks my immersion to see African-American and white managers going back and forth between the Negro Leagues and MLB in the '20s and '30s, or to see John Smith from Tulsa, Oklahoma get fired by the Cubs and hired by a team in Castro's post-revolutionary Cuba.

So I'd love to see those options added and, along the lines of what diesel's saying, maybe the ability to allow them in to international leagues, but set specific limits on the number of foreign-born personnel, similar to the way we can set roster limits on foreign players.
