This is so hard to quantify because each situation is so different. I think one person who tries to avail himself to all former athletes is Dave Plati...Plati is one of the truly good guys and any former athlete is always welcome with Plati. Bill Harris is another guy that is there for any athlete.
Everyones perception is different. I hear the descriptions of Barnett and I know that I always found him warm and engaging. My relationship with Neuheisel was different, he always seemed like he had time when he thought there was something in it for him, but I have no doubt he had a deep relationship with some of the guys who played for him. I know several players were always around the Buffs when Barnett was the coach so I think results vary.
You have to remember that the Football program has about 150 people in it at any one time including athletes, trainers, strength and condition staff, etc. No coach is going to have a close relationship with all those people much less all the ones who have passed through.
