I disagree that you need to be a football person to be an effective owner. Some of the best owners know little about football, but also know that the most effective leaders hire the best available talent to help the enterprise succeed. Bob Kraft and Jeffrey Lurie are two examples of that. I agree with the poster (Schneed?) who says that The Danny's ego limits the pool of candidates that will work for the Skins. If the ego of the owner is a factor in who is willing to come here, then we have serious issues at the top.
