Does having a 'religious' coach help a program?

Ole Miss, Georgia, and Auburn have three of the more outspoken coaches about being religious. And those programs appear to be doing really well.
However, while the super religious front a coach portrays may appeal to the conservative portion of the a fan base. There are still quite a few people who are turned off by religion. It doesn't seem like it would really help in getting the maximum amount of people to like you for recruiting purposes.
So if religion doesn't maximize the life blood of your program. What's the point in bragging about being religious when your a coach?

Why does it matter whether or not a coach believes in Bear Bryant?

Coaching is mentoring. Many see pastors in the same light, as mentors.
Coaches incorporate thier beliefs into thier coaching.
Christian coaches incorporate faith and thier belief system into thier work.

Richt and Chizik are also outspoken on religion.

You're going to piss off a lot of UGAs.

I think it doesn't make much of a difference outside of recruiting. Religious parents are probably more comfortable with religious coaches. Other than that, X's and O's, work ethic, etc., has nothing to do with a guy's religion.

I think the opposite, the religious coaches always seem to suck the most.

Why are the pig posters so absolutely pathetic and beyond awful whenever their team is power bottom in the SECW?

If a coach just lives his religion without forcing it on players, it's usually not that big a problem, but I have seen what religious coaches can do when they demand the same from their players. It can be corrupting to a program. Our last baseball coach was that way.

I don't see how having a religious coach can hurt.
Spurrier is a religious coach. I'd put his knowledge of the scripture out there against anyone's ... but he's no hypocrite and that is what works for him.
Religious coaches who are hypocrites - like anything else in life - the worst scum bags in life are hypocrites.

Eventually one of these coaches will get the university sued for preaching.

Butch Jones is a pretty devout catholic. Have heard him and prospects talk about it.
