Graham Sims' ratings have improved this year. After five seasons as a Level 7 coach, he's been upgraded to
Level 8.
I have 20 points to distribute across Graham's four attributes. The easy thing to do would be to increase all categories five points, but I think I'll take a different approach this time.
As you'll soon see, Graham's assistants got upgrades, too. I'm not going to break up the coaching team I've assembled here; it ain't broke, so I'm not gonna fix it. Coaching assistant
Thomas Liang has now become even more of a defense whisperer than Graham is, but his knowledge of offense is extremely limited. For that reason, I think I'll boost Graham's Coaching Offense score a bit more, perhaps at the expense of Coaching Defense.

2011 Hired by Lafayette (Head Coach)
All three assistant coaches want raises that reflect their growing abilities. Coach Liang wants a $10,000 raise, to $50,000/year.
Steven Manion and
Donn McClinton each want $20,000 more per season, which would bring Manion up to $60,000 and McClinton to $70,000.
They've all improved their key skill quite a bit. I'll give them those raises when it's time.
