I think he can probably assemble a good staff, which is also half the battle.
I've found in life that 90% of the people that interview well are just that... good at bullshitting.
It certainly doesn't make you a great football coach if you are a good interviewer by conventional standards, IMO.

A real hook though is something concrete, something quantifiable. Being lovable or respected by themselves doesn't qualify.
Though I do agree that interviewing well isn't a true indicator of how competent someone is at a job. I interviewed thousands of prospects as an asst. mgr., manager, Regional Director, and figured out pretty quickly that good interviewees weren't any better employees than bad ones, overall. Being a good interview just means that a person is familiar with the principles of selling the best parts of themselves, and that's about it.
Some people are just good BS artists.
