WIM, you have never seen an opposing coach at a news conference and winced, "Man, I'd rather have a boiled lobster in pot of pepper chili represent Stanford than that stiff!". 

I certainly have.

Indeed.  Other than the boiled lobster part, that is pretty much what I was thinking earlier this week when I saw a clip of a Nick Saban press conference [discussing Lane Kiffin].  Come to think of it, Saban reminded me a lot of a boiled lobster in that press conference...

I think how the person represents the school is important, for both coaches and athletes.  Maybe not more important than talent/results, but very close.

Andrew Luck.
Jameis Winston.
Rest my case.
