Some owners have done stuff like this, al davis back in the day for instance. I feel like this is a case of a small time owner who wants the prestige of pro sports rather then getting some one big enough that they dont have to micro manage the team. Need more bob youngs and less of this junk. 

 

QFT

At least Al Davis had some back ground in football.

Guzzo's response is even more telling.  Claims he told Maciocia he could choose the 6 "primary important positions" but should prioritize QC university athletes for the rest.

This guy would be a disaster as owner, I'm sure of it.

Roster decisions based on uninformed and arbitrary criteria?

 

Kavis Reed is intrigued...

Al Davis was a very successful coach and GM first.  He was also a great owner for decades.  Unfortunately, age is inexorable and people remember him for the last several years when he was not as sharp.  

Davis stood up to the NFL and the whole league became far better for it.

No doubt, what davis did with the AFL, and the NFL merger was gigantic. He must be rolling around in his grave with a relocation still pending for (i think?) 2020 to vegas. However his micro managing and front office antics will live on in the greatest infamy. 

Like all historic greats, he deserves to be recognized for his fantastic contributions. But its equally important to keep the grain of salt in the forefront. Paul Brown has seen a kind of cleansing at the hands of history due to the effect of rose tinted glasses.

Davis doesn't give two shits about Oakland.  He was trying to move the team all the time to get money out of governments.
