Every year we see various fanbases complain about the ownership of their favorite NFL team and wishing they would do better/sell, ect. Many dislike their ownership for perceived incompententcies in running the organization (Mark Davis, David Tepper), others dislike their owner based on personal dislike (Dan Snyder before he sold). So my question for you: what makes a good NFL owner? Should they be highly involved in team decision making ala Jerry Jones? Be way hands off like Kroenke? Does their participation in the community matter as much as winning championships? Or do you just want success?
Edit: I guess I should say, this is an excellent opportunity for Packers shareholders to pat themselves on the back
Trust in your employees. Why hire a GM and head coach if you don’t trust their assessment of the best way to run a team?

Cares about the team

Willing to spend

Highly invested in making the right hires, but then largely hands off as far as letting them run the ship, and only really stepping in to mediate disputes, or to make the Texans take Stroud instead of punting on QB to take a linebacker at #2.

Views winning as the best way to make money
Hire good people, trust them to do their jobs, give them time to implement a plan, and be willing to spend money.
As one of the top 5 million NFL owners of all time, I credit my overwhelming success to staying in school and always saying thank you.
Leaving the ppl who are good at their jobs to do their jobs. So many team owners aren’t football guys and want to pick the players, coaches and schemes based off of no football knowledge. Let the people who do this for a living do it and get out the way.
