What if we're wrong about what makes a good college football coach?

An interesting take on the more recent coaching hires and their results.
 

I think the biggest takeaway in all of this is that too much gets put on getting the right head coach, when in actuality, much of the drama and struggles stem from problematic relationships with boosters and administration folks whose names are rarely known outside of the most devout fans. The word I always hear from college football folks is "alignment," and that's a tough thing to find and often equally difficult to predict. It's why Herm Edwards or Mack Brown have turned out to actually be fairly solid hires, and guys we assumed would be terrific like Frost and Harbaugh have struggled.

After reading the article, I can see some points, but what does any of that have to do with what happens on the field?  I can see where a coach who doesn't get along with the boosters could have some clashes, but how does that translate to the playing field?  At the end of the day, it all comes down to the results of games.
