I thought the hire was for a basketball coach, not a Miss America.
He must be a hell of an interview along with an outstanding resume. He's in the business of athletics yet appears to disregard his own physical fitness.
I've hired folks in the past and if they struck me as their health having no priority in their life it would be a strike against them when comparing with the other candidates. I wasn't looking for body builders or marathon runners, just someone who demonstrated the dicipline to maintain healthy life habits like a reasonable weight along with not smoking or heavy drinking.
Maybe I'm in the minority with this mindset, but if an employee is sick or injured regularly it prevents them from performing. Its amazing as one ages how much a healthy diet can affect one's energy level and alertness in my experience.

I know exactly what you are saying and it is true. I also use the philosophy that even the fat ones need loving too.
