It helps. It would be enough for any remotely competent coach to get Montana State (along with Montana and the Dakotas) into the 24-team bracket more often than not, but Vigen has gone way beyond that. He's proven that he's a great talent identifier, game-planner, and in-game coach.

You never know, but I think it's likely he would at least win the Mullen/Leach standard and not regularly embarrass us on and off the field like 3 of our last 4 coaches have.
He doesn't ring pay out the butt / splash hire like you also mentioned right above in your post. I think he's a good coach but it's a big jump from FCS and he's never coached at a P4 program. Spent his entire career with Bohl. There are legit concerns how he would be running a P4 program.
