I pretty much agree with all you said. Finding the right coach is the hardest part. What would be a cool addition would be to have the ability to interview a coach. shortlist say 10 guys you find. Maybe they are from free agents, or maybe they are from the minor league system. Hell maybe you can ask another team for permission to interview one of their minor league coaches. Even if the interview isn't a manual thing, maybe just have the interview results emailed to you. Could really be the game breaker to decide who the right coach is, and who you will offer that contract too.

And since the game gave no indication, and still doesn't, on how reputation is determined, users ignore the rep and go into the manager's profile to find the best development guy. Finally they added those to the personnel tab so that we can sort by it.

The coach system is in dire need of redesign. I posted a long ass suggestion a few years back that was ignored. I'll try to find it and hopefully get it revived

EDIT: Found it. This was from 2017 but much of it is still valid
