I think it's more than that. Certainly the players can relate to him, but you have counselors and professionals who can speak to it in a trained way. He definitely experienced it and is very well spoken, but what can he help with day to day in a full-time role professionally? Additionally, it's a corporate environment, is he willing to do the corporate thing occasionally and bite his tongue when a decision doesn't go his way? We'll never know.
