I have been playing OOTP since v6.5, so one would think I understand coaching ratings by now … but I don’t.

Why do some coaches (let’s say pitching coaches) have a good reputation but poor ratings? For example, I’m in the early 1980s with the Braves and my new pitching coach (the last one retired) has a reputation of Good, but his ratings are as follows:

Handles Development Fair
Influences Mechanics Fair
Handles Aging Poor
Teaches Pitching Fair

Edit: I have scouting accuracy at 100%

Also, why do many coaches refuse to sign my with team even despite the $ offered even though we have a good pitching staff and are coming off an 86-76 year?

Thanks
