Just started playing. In my first scrimmage I saw that I had an awful coach.
Can I hire a coach?
If so, where?

In staff I only could hire PR, doctor & trainer.

If not, how do I get a better coach?

what you precisely want is a trainer (same thing).
But don't look at his performance after a game, the levels are not working very well...

???

The coaching rating is a rating based on how YOU setup against the opposing team.

The trainer has nothing to do with this. The trainer ONLY trains your players

this is true, at the moment.

However, I heard some rumors once that this might change, that the trainer's skill would become relevant to your substitution patterns (and other in-game coach decisions). Which makes me think our trainer is our coach.

Us, the users, we are more like the GM (General Manager, not game master :p). We are the owner that sells and buys players, and that pays the bills. We are just a bit nosey and try to tell the coach who to put on the floor.. hahaha Kinda like a soccer GM in Brazil named Eurico Miranda...

or like on the New York Knicks, where Isiah Thomas is both the GM and the coach.

To me, a trainer is someone who gets the players in the best possible shape to practice ( getting the right shoes, laces that fit, the right taping of the ankles, good hydration fluids, etc.)
a coach is the person who transfers knowledge, skills, and motivates players.

as a new buzzerbeater user (General Manager) I kept looking for a place to hire a better coach. now I have learned that the Trainer is what I could call a coach. Does anyone else think this is confusing? (of course, not if you read the rules 5 times, and non of them at work or after mdnight!!)

now I understand that the purpose of a doctor is to prevent injuries as much as to heal them....so am learning

I think we need an American translation.

I agree with dennis54, more like in hattrick, where the coach level determines how fast players develop their skills and where you have (assistant) trainers that help the coach.
