Suggestion
Merge players.dat, retired.dat and coaches.dat into two new files - people.dat and retired.dat
Reason
A lot of data is shared anyway between these two files (personal details and the like), and it's only the ratings and stats that vary. Coaches history is based on the same record structure as teams.dat but could easily use the players.dat structure.
It would put front-office personnel contracts on the same footing as players.
It would allow more in-depth team chemistry as the players would then have things like 'handle veterans', 'handle players', 'handle rookies' etc and if you make a player your team captain this should have some effect on the rest of the team.
It would make it easier to make a player become a coach or a scout and you'd be able to offer a player a contract and say that you want them to become your A-level manager (like Gabe Kapler) without it creating a whole new record in a separate table
