Otherwise the game engine sets the sliders at the middle point in all cases (unless they were somewhere else when you turned coaches off, in which case they won't change). Without someone with strategy preferences to ask, there isn't anyone to set your team strategies but you.

This may very well be the case now, but if so it is a change in behavior from before.

I can take the same league file from before to now and in the old patch you had the ability with coaches turned off to ask the AI for strategy. In the new patch with the same league file you no longer do.

Everything else is still there to ask the AI (setting lineups, rotations, etc. Only strategy is missing).
