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

    Know when to give the medium Pepsi and more importantly know when not to give the medium Pepsi.

    Don’t meddle in the running of the team in a way that causes your team to lose draft picks! This is really my only complaint about Ross, but it’s a pretty big one.

    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?

    1. Cares about the team

    2. Willing to spend

    3. 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.

    4. Views winning as the best way to make money

    Try to be more like Jeffrey Lurie and less like most of the other owners

    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.

    Obviously as people are saying a major skill is self-restraint. You’re the money guy. You’re almost certainly not enough of a football genius to be the last word on strategy, roster decisions, or even coaching hires. But owners do need to be able to recognize when the people they’ve hired to make those decisions are fucking them up. They’re the only people who can step in when the [GM/VP of football operations/whatever title you made up] needs to be reined in or fired. “Hire a good team and stay out of their way” is the ideal formula, but hiring a good team takes genuine skill.

    I think it’s similar to any good high level managers, directors, executives in any corporation.

    I think it’s making sure you hire the right people around you (which can be difficult) and trusting them. As an owner you can’t really do much else but financially support your organization. Jerry Jones might be the only exception but even then the cowboys haven’t won the big one in a while so idk

    For starters….don’t buy a massive Diamond chain with your name on it like a clown and raise ticket prices based off false hope
