For 20+ years Kraft was one of the least meddling owners in the league, it ruined his relationship with Parcells so he seemed to have learned his lesson.
His foray back into meddling started again in 2021, Wolf was hired, Mayo was extended as the heir apparent… Bob gave a press conference to announce it all and how the draft was becoming a collaboration.
BB seems to have got along to get along, it got us Mac Jones. Whether he wanted him or not is up for debate, I doubt that his buddy Saban, even if he thought less of Mac, would outright sht talk his own player. Bill also received a fig leaf when he got the player he originally wanted when they traded up in the 2nd to take Barmore.
Bottom line is if everyone isn’t pulling in one direction you’ll go nowhere. And BB stayed with Mac way longer than feasible for anyone watching who understood football. He clearly was shoving the kid’s incompetence in Kraft’s face and for all the world to see by playing him well after the entire world knew he sucked. It’s not surprising reports came out later that BB wanted to move away from Mac a long time ago but Kraft insisted he stick with him.
Jerry Jones is the most meddling owner in the NFL, he’s the reason why that team never excels in the playoffs. His teams think they have won it all when they haven’t won anything, mainly because Jerry gushes about his players in the media, pays players far more than they’re worth, and if players have a gripe they can circumvent their coach and go right to the owner.
I don’t think it’s Bob we have to concern ourselves with, I’m fairly certain before he passed he wanted the team squarely in Jonathan’s hands and back in the family’s control. Whether Jon will be a hands off owner remains to be seen.
