Head Coach A head coach is responsible for sending in coaching templates and scrimmages. He is probably also the one with the final say on position changes. This is an easy arrangement to operate, as one person gets the players and the other manages the lineups. It is also nice for inexperienced assistants, as a mistake in one game can generally be easily remedied for the next game. A similar arrangement to the head coach above.
Management is limited to the minor league team instead of the major team.
A general manager is essentially responsible for all duties of roster management, namely cuts, drafting, free agent signings, and trades. The GM is busiest during the team's offseason, although trade negotiations and free agent signings can continue during the season. As with a head coach, this is an easy arrangement to operate, although an inexperienced GM is more likely to make a costly mistake than is an inexperienced coach. Assistant An assistant will serve more as a second mind for running the team, and will be in communication with the owner as to strategies, draft lists, potential trades, and so on.
