Rogue defensive plays appearing in "Gameplan Rules"...

I recently took over a team in a long standing league.

I fired the Head Coach whose Defensive Style was "Run Focused Defense (3 - 4)".

My new Head Coach has a Defensive Style of "Pass Focused Defense (4 - 3)."

Following the firing / hiring, I copied over my "Gameplan Rules" for the defense of the new team from one of my other leagues where I have a Head Coach who has a Defensive Style of "Pass Focused Defense (4 - 3)."

Then, after selecting the individual defensive plays for my new team, I was looking over the "Gameplan Rules" and I found three plays all based out of a 3 - 4 Defense in the rules ("3 - 4 Normal, Man QB Spy", 3 - 4 Normal, 2 Deep Man, and "3 - 4 Normal, Man Cover 1"). It seems that these 3 - 4 defensive plays are somehow embedded or stuck even though I switched to a different defensive scheme.

How is it possible for these 3 - 4 Defense based plays to even appear in the Gameplan Rules when the current Head Coach has a 4 - 3 Defense based playbook? Obviously, these plays were not individually "selected" because they don't even exist for this Head Coach. Has anyone seen this before? Solutions? Thoughts?

Style only affects the playbook and in AI/RO situations the frequency of plays called and their effectiveness.

UPDATE... I fired the newly hired Head Coach who had a Defensive Style of "Pass Focused Defense (4 - 3)" and replaced him with a different Head Coach who also has the same Defensive Style of "Pass Focused Defense (4 - 3)", and all of the anomalies I saw previously were no longer displayed. None of this makes sense, but everything is back to normal.
