Priorities should be something like

Winning/Resume
Vision
Reputation
Smarts
...
..
Loyalty to current club
Or maybe the priority for the new head coach should be his ability to communicate with players. Lots of things go into winning. Not all of them healthy.

The head coach needs to properly lay out the expectations of each player and what their roles are on the team.
He needs to communicate with players when they are meeting or failing to meet those expectations.
He needs to be able to identify and provide the proper encouragement and training to those players so that they can meet the expectations and get better as players and human beings.
He needs to be able to hold players accountable when they are unwilling to meet the expectations.
He needs to be able to foster a culture of team work, and team spirit that has everyone working the same direction for the same goals.

Winning resume might be a way to gauge someone you don't know but for candidates that you have interacted with for multiple years and have had player interviews about you should not be basing it on what their winning record is or not.
