What makes Romar a "good man"

Honest question and not meant to be flippant. If we assume most people are (HH notwithstanding) naturally decent or at least of a neutral disposition, what sets Romar apart from, say, Wayne Tinkle at OSU or any other random personal-life-not-in-the-news Joe Schmoe coach? That he has not raped people or been charged with a DUI should be a baseline expectation, not a point of praise. Many qualify their criticism of Romar by saying how great of a man he is. Why?

He has also had a known pimp on his team and reinstated said player + had an active cocaine dealer as a major player. Personally I am a fan of pimps and dealers on a team (assuming we win), but these are never brought up by his militant cultists.

    He's a black coach who is strongly religious, well-spoken, mild-mannered, and has experienced a moderate degree of success.

    Aside from religious, you just described Ernie Kent.

    And, hell, King David himself lay down with Bathsheba so maybe Ernie is one religious motherfucker too.

    Ernesto was actually pretty loudly religious when he first started at Oregon, not sure if he's toned that down after the Ole incident or not.
