When I click on my OC contract, the only extension I can give him are :

- Head Coach
- OC

so how can I demote him to QB Coach ? I have to Give the QB coach the OC job first, then my OC will be cut and I'll have to resign him but I can lose him to another team while he become available

If you can offer a contract to both coaches just offer them the position you want them to coach.

I believe there is a 24 hour window where you can do this...I THINK its right after season , end but I'm not 100% sure on that.

That answer doesn't answer the question, which asks if the players will hit the open market. This doesn't say whether or not the coaches will hit the open market before signing or not.

If you fire a coach without immediately signing him to another contract, he will hit the open market.

So, in order to demote a coach from OC to QB, he would have to hit the open market first.

At least, that is how I understand the system to work.

This is correct. You cannot demote a coach without giving him an opportunity to hit the open market. You can offer a position coach a lateral move on your team, but you cannot offer a coordinator a lateral move to the other coordinator position. You can of course offer any of your coaches a promotion at any time.

I must have found a glitch then as I've demoted a HC to other positions and other coaches to other positions too, maybe this is how it used to be.
