Can't Hire New AHL Head Coach

I’m so happy someone else has reported this so I can get on here and say this EXACT thing JUST happened to me. It’s *. I’m trying to better my AHL team by having just fired my C rating Head Coach and replacing him with a B- Head Coach instead. 
However, I can’t do that because coaches don’t just accept offers immediately like the help/advice/answers to common questions online act like happens, saying “if they accept, then they fill the slot, if they don’t, then try again, etc...” EA is pathetic for allowing this to continue to happen and having not fixed it yet and now we’re three months away from NHL 22.

It really sucks.
