Tom Benson was top 5, what has Gayle done to be seen as Top 5 other than fire DA when Loomis didn't want to. Which is solid argument, but what else. Not saying she's bottom 5 either. Probably somewhere in the middle.
Also, giving a coach everything they want isn't always the best idea.
Gayle literally does the same exact thing Tom did, she allows the football people to run the operations and writes the checks. You could even say she is better than Tom because Tom penny pinched at times, she doesn’t.
