Nick Underhill: Players organizing a Players-Only Meeting

Not anymore. She a woman worth about $6 billion dollars that is at the head of a banking, car dealership, and sports franchise empire.

And Tom Benson was a car salesman, Robert Craft made and sold newspapers and then razor blades, the Heinz family made and sold ketchup, etc. Even Jerry Jones was a Wildcatter. Lots of people have humble beginning. Doesn't mean they can't run a business.

It's not like any of these people run the day to day operations of their teams outside of Jerry Jones and none of them were "football people" when they bought the teams with the possible exception of Jerry Jones. Dennis Lauscha runs the sports franchise businesses and she has other people running the Benson car dealerships and Benson owned banks.

Weird how everyone is saying Gayle doesn't care, isn't qualified, blah blah but back when it looked like Rita might end up with the team, everyone was furious and totally supportive of Gayle keeping the team and letting Dennis L. & Mickey L. run the show for the most part. Which is exactly what is happening and now everyone has their pitchforks out saying that she needs to care more, be more involved or the polar opposite and stand down altogether because she 'has no idea what she is doing & unqualified.

It's working as designed and when we were winning, folks were all on board with that structure and now that we are losing; demanding change.
I'm not suggesting that Mickey & Dennis should be let off the hook for anything but this was what the fans asked for.

A good leader doesn't always have to be the subject matter expert in everything. Good leaders know they know they couldn't be and assemble the best possible team around them that helps them see their blind spots and make the right decisions.
