Actually, make a large change to a coach's abilities, take one not rated very well whose abilities for his position (e.g. teach hitting for hitting coaches and to some degree manage players/rookies/veterans for everyone, also teaching each thing for managers/bench coaches) and type save so it recalculates, and you'll see that a big bump in the ratings often helps reputation a little. So reputation tells you a small amount (and tells you a whole lot about scouts and trainers, but everyone who pays attention knows that).
The records of the teams the person coached at is far more important though: That part is clearly true.
It should be more 50/50 between performance and ratings (compared to now when it's probably 90/10 or 95/5), only 50/50 rather than ratings-heavy, because in real life if someone coaches hitting and the batters do very well on his team, or has very good years managing winning teams, that person will get a reputation for being very good, deserved or not.
But it should also be about half ratings, so you truly can get an idea if someone's any good (which then will also lead to higher contract demands for better managers/coaches). As it is it's so hard to have any idea that I cheat and look at the ratings because you know essentially nothing otherwise.
