Disappeared personnel

[AndyMan8]

Sample Problem Description
Version: 9.0.26
PC/MAC: PC
What were you doing? Hitting coach was with team before I accepted job, with no salary of expiry date.
What happened? Signed coach to extension. Returning later, position was vacant, and coach had disappeared.

What type of game are you running? Fictional, Historical or 2008 MLB?

Any chance this coach retired? You get a message sent to you when this happens so if you didn't delete your game emails then there might be a note there.

This is an MLB 2008 league. I simmed until hired by Tri-City (S A, COL)

My transaction log shows:

July 28 Signed hitting coach T Roberts (unfilled position I hired the same day I was hired).

August 3rd, signed Hitting Coach P Spencer to 3-year extension.

August 11, Fired hitting coach P Spencer
Signed hitting coach R Gomez
------

So it's possible that the coach simply did not show up on the personnel screen, and the act of viewing the personnel screen (or the hiring of a new one, because the old was not displayed) caused him to be fired and replaced.

MLB 2008. I simmed until offered job on July 28 with Tri-City (S A, COL) (which is a team of 17 catchers, by the way)

My transaction log shows:

July 28 Signed hitting coach T Roberts (who is actually the pitching coach)
(On Personnel screen Roberts is PC, Spencer is HC)
August 3 Signed Hitting Coach P Spencer to a 3-year extension

August 11 Fired hitting coach P Spencer
Signed hitting coach R Gomez

(On August 11 I look at personnel screen and there is no hitting coach, so signed a new one (Gomez)) I did not fire HC Spencer, nor receive a message about it.

This is likely an extension of the problem reported here:

BZ 1452: Minor League coaches signed for 255 years?

If after downloading the next patch and starting a new MLB game you still see this behavior, please let us know. Thanks.
