Nothing wrong with that approach- especially for the major leagues. For minor league coaches I usually look for coaches who focus on areas I want my young players to be better at: groundball pitching and patient hitting. I also tend to try to sign the coach with the highest reputation- this could be misguided though.
Also remember that there are a couple of views on the personnel screen that can give you information: Tendencies and Value Ratings. Tendencies is better for evaluating HC and PC, while Value Ratings is better for Managers and Bench Coach
