Because it DOES matter.

Absolutely...x10. Carl was a terrible personnel man and not the guy I would choose to stick in front of the cameras...but he knew how to organize the business side of things. I have no love for Carl an DO NOT want him back, but a team's relationships with its city and the fanbase has a TON to do with the business side of things. Sure, a good product on the field trumps everything. But when you DON'T have a good product...and all teams go through periods where their product is poor...it simply makes no sense to engender bad blood with one's fanbase.
Stoke the fires of the city's love for their team, whether they win or lose...and then hire the best personnel people to minimize any "down" years. This isn't that complicated...and certainly not something you have to learn from the Goldman Sachs school of stupid.
