Are you serious? Elhai has been there to make money for the team and has done a fantastic job - that's why he's still there. Johnson bought it for what? $650 million? It's now worth nine billion! He should be fired for that? If you guys can a restaurant you'd want to fire the bartender because the chef made crappy food even if the bar was full every night of the week.
If said bar had a toxic culture you are fucking right! The ENTIRE organization is a shit show. Dude, I could go in there and flippin' print money. The NFL PRINTS money. Trust me, it has nothing to do with Elhai and anything "special" he's doing. You can hire any ole' marketing "dick" to come in and work an NFL team. Shit, from a marketing standpoint, gotta be the easiest marketing money ever made! Look, something in that building stinks. If the stench isn't leaving with coaches and players then it is SOMEWHERE else. Now, as I've stated over and over and over, yet clearly must state it again, if Johnson is the stink then there IS NO HOPE!!!!! What, you think some 70+ year old asshole is going to change the way he does business? I don't think so. It's also a better than average bet his kid is just as bad. Maybe not, but only time will tell that tale. Unfortunately, half this board will be either dead or infirm before that happens so...
I think you nailed it on the head…Woody IS the stink. HE is the one with final say on all key hires, and probably meddling quite a bit in too many player personnel decisions also. I also agree that there is nothing we can do about this. And I also agree that his kid is almost certainly no better than his idiot dad. I think the owners who are long time family owners, like the Rooney’s, the Hunt’s, etc. are good owners…I think the business guys who have actually built businesses are better set up to be good owners because they know what it takes to build something, to make it successful, to understand how to evaluate and nurture talent. But owners like Woody, who are just lucky to have been born into great wealth, are probably the worst possible owners…they have no sense of hard work, no sense of how to build anything, they just have an entitled sense of their own value. Which is not much outside of being born into the right family. So yeah, we’re basically fucked…
