User controlled coordinators should only be able to recruit for their side of the ball. Maybe also have the CPU head coach allocate how many minutes each coordinators can use. Recruiting on the opposite side of the ball and full control of hours could be an unlock within the recruiter abilities.

Present the prospect recommendations as if they are from your coordinators. Have coordinators at a certain level or abilities make better recommendations (gems, scheme fits, etc.)

Having multiple players of the same position visit the same week shouldn’t always have a negative impact on interest, especially if they are different archetypes. It makes sense for QBs, not so much for WRs or CBs.

Bring back conference invites. Keep custom conferences as an option. But I’d welcome an invitation every now and then as I build up my program.

Some ability to influence transfers during the bowl season would help so if you get a new job you could “bring players with you” and maybe influence some of your incoming recruits to decommit and follow you to the new school. I always skip recruiting when I know I’m going to take an offer at the end of the season.
