The older OOTP versions actually had the ratings listed when you went to hire. They removed that feature because apparently some folks found it unrealistic or something. I dont necessarily disagree with that decision because its hard to measure those thing objectively in real life.
What should have happened is that the rating should have been replaced with something else that was more realistic. Coaches are the most important part of the team, more important than players in many cases, even if the sports themselves have yet to acknowledge this to be true. Things I would look for in a coach are background (did he play? how many years?), education (can he solve problems using knowledge rather than gut feeling?), and did he groom any winning teams, or great players? Those are much more important than personality (which a good coach can change based on need), or management style (changeable), or focus (also should be variable and not static).
