Keeping costs down by hiring crap coaches is probably a bad idea.  I assume you're either signing IFA or drafting high.   If that's the case, you're not helping those players' development.

Go the the "World Office --> Reports --> Coaches" page.  You'll be able to select any coaching level and role for all teams from the previous season.  That should give you the ability to find the info that you are looking for.

The primary ratings are obvious, the secondary rating that means the most is patience.  The rest of the ratings mean anywhere from zippity-do-da, to slightly more then zilch.

I go with 50 RL, 55 LOA 60 HIA 65 AA 70 AAA 80+ ML.  these are basically minimums, however if a guy has awesome patience Im willing to go with a slightly lower main rating.

Another important rating (in a way) is loyalty, coach hiring is mundane at the MiL levels, and hiring a guy with awesome loyalty is a real boon as long as his prime rating isnt too bad.
