Setting CPU Recruiting Position Preferences by Style

Looking to start up a new dynasty and was looking at the recruiting tendencies of CPU coaches. Do they want a pocket, balanced, scrambler, or any QB? Does anyone set these for CPU coaches, and if so, what settings do you use for each? Some offenses and defenses may use multiple styles in one grouping (blocking FB & receiving TE or coverage OLB & balanced MLB).

Offense:
Air Raid
Multiple
One Back
Option
Pistol
Pro
Run and Shoot
Spread

QB: Pocket, Balanced, Scrambler, Any
RB: Power, Balanced, Speed, Any
FB/TE: Blocking, Balanced, Receiving, Any
WR: Possession, Balanced, Speed, Any
OL: Run, Balanced, Pass, Any

Defense:
3-3-5
3-4
3-4 Multiple
4-2-5
4-3
4-3 Multiple
Multiple D

DE: Pass, Balanced, Run, Any
DT: Pass, Balanced, Run, Any
LB: Coverage, Balanced, Run, Any
CB: Coverage, Balanced, Hard Hitting, Any
S: Coverage, Balanced, Hard Hitting, Any

**EDIT**
I am massaging a roster file using the editor before starting a dynasty. My goal is to set the preferences once per coach and let it ride from then on. I'm not messing with the priorities, as those would change throughout the season. An example of my focus is to set the following:

Pro Style
QB: Pocket
RB: Any
FB/TE: Any
WR: Any
OL: Balanced

I'm not sure if this is possible in the editor. I not you would need to create a coach for every school to be able to change them (I would suggest replacing the worse coordinator), but that would be extremely tedious and I'm not even sure how much those settings work. I mess with a few each year, this year for example I believe I set high emphasis for tight ends, yet I don't think I had any tight ends extremely interested in me in the beginning. Had to really go after one in recruiting and the other two possible ones I'll bring in will be converted WRs.

Hopefully, this helps a little, but maybe someone else has some better answer for you.

I have updated my post for clarification. I'm not looking to change the priority settings for each position, as those will change all season long for each team. I'm looking to set the coaches at the start of the dynasty using the editor based on the offense and defense they run. I will only need to change new coaches at the end of the season after that. My goal is to have pro set coaches to go after pocket passers and triple option coaches to go after scramblers.
