He should stay out of the locker room unless it a special occasion. He has no clue about a toxic work environment and him being involved in every aspect of the team is not helping, especially with everyone being aware of the fact that Rhule….i mean Frank, is on the hot seat. This season has been a complete disaster and the owner being this involved helps nothing. 

He owns the team. He didn’t pay billions for it to stay out of the locker room, that’s ridiculous

I don't care if he sets up permanent residence in the locker room as long as he stays out of any and all football decisions.

But I'm not holding my breath waiting on that happening.

In football decisions, meetings on Monday with the coach the day after, with his wife watching the oline after you cut a starter.… 

 

All while your track record has proven no success on the field. Time to back the hell off of something, whatever he’s doing isn’t working and the constant presence isn’t coming off supportive it sounds intimidating. People don’t work best in that environment

The crazy part is I suspect he's furious because he thinks he's given over most of the direction of the team to people who have centuries of combined experience...only for him to forget that he's an American boss in an American environment with American employees who have the American power distance. IOW, as soon as he indicated a preference for Bryce, the $50m he's probably paying his coaching staff and front office went into CYA mode and deferred to him instead of telling him when he was wrong. He knows that what the boss says goes, so this is his mess even if he thinks he's tried to make it less so.

If I were him, I would become an absentee owner. Let the team have a president who makes all the decisions and only participate in mandatory owner activities like voting on TV deals, and if I could, I would let the president do that too. I'd give the president a max budget today, let him/her know that they can adjust for inflation annually, and he/she can spend that on team ops and hiring while I turn my attention elsewhere. Treat the team like a 20 year CD that I passively notice. Go to the games as a spectator in the owners box. Enjoy the perks of being an NFL owner and let others run the team and let the chips fall where they may.

He'd never do that though.

    • If he really wants to be here, that can happen.  It's totally up to him.  Yes, he'll have to take a hometown discount to do it.  He'll have to show that the last two seasons were outliers and he hasn't become an injury risk. It will come down to money and how much of it he wants.  If he wants to be paid at the upper end of the scale, it won't and can't happen here.  When healthy, he deserves that kind of pay and if he wants it someone else will pay it. It can totally happen.  And it's totally in his court.  
    • He was on the "sideline" during OTA or mini camp, Im sure there was some Twitter/X post but news just moves so fast now.  He's not getting the press as TMac or even Horn, but he is making plays. That's the other deal, Im a big fan of his!  Just in order to get great value you need to give value in return. I said he would have been a 3rd rounder in 2025 draft, he just had bad luck with injuries hurting his stock and coming out in a deep WR class.  
    • I've always said that PFF is a tool. If you don't know how to use it, or don't want to know how to use it, then it's useless. But some people actually do know how to use it---which is why it still exists and is used by all 32 NFL teams---and part of this is putting it all within context----seeing the bigger picture. If you don't understand that not all players, develop at the same rate, have different levels of talent, have injuries that affect their play, and face different circumstances in regards to the opposition and coaching, for example, then I don't know what to tell you. Coaches set expectations based upon a variety of things, not only last year's stat sheet, which may have been brought about by dynamics that you, as a fan, may or may not understand. And even if you have some understanding of them, as a fan, you still will never have the clarity that they do---the concerns or the context that they do. As a fan, you should even be putting your lack of understanding their context, into context (and stop trying to act like you know something to be true based upon a bad season at the end of the day).
