I think Goodell remains because he's a useful idiot. You never even heard Tagliabue's name. You can't go a week without Goodell screwing something up and then going on camera and smiling. Its like seeing your kid scribble with crayons on the wall and then he looks at you with pride at what he's done because he doesn't even understand.
What do we have, Patriots, Saints supposed bounty, Cowboys and Redskins salary cap, "rule emphasis." Every drug testing case that gets challenged they lose, when the refs make a laughable call, the commissioner backs them up with a more laughable fine. The guy has the Midas touch for turning everything into ****. And when something easy does come across his desk like Ray Rice, he completely screws it up.
But he's an equal opportunity screw up. Idiots are more trustworthy, they can be manipulated in a way that smart people can't. Goodell is that competitive edge for owners, because he can be used as a tool to bludgeon their enemies. Goodell is a tool, and as long as he remains more useful to more than half the owners we are stuck with that dull edged tool.
Goodell is awful when it comes to PR and organizational type decisions. However, he has made the owners a lot of money. Until that money begins to dry up or he starts hurting the bottom line, he's not going anywhere.
