So... while I agree that the way coaching is handled could be improved, if you don't like the fact that you'll never know exactly whether or not that high-rep coach is actually helping or hurting your guys, my recommendation is to not use coaching in your game. That makes one less variable that you need to track, although of course that's going to increase the amount of randomness in terms of development (well, depending on how you define "random", not having complete information about your coaches can be "random" as well).
