Darryl pretty much enjoyed a high degree of autonomy in those days.
However, it is an assumption. You are right - if this is indeed true, this is the only legitimate 'proof' I can think of that shows owners (or KK) are meddling. Everything else I heard is basically hearsay it seems.

I highly doubt that is the case. Darryl is a straight shooter - just ask Phil Sauve!

What I think Feaster sold them on was 'this team is close' - we don't need to rebuild like other teams do, but rather rebuild slowly and get younger slowly = or something like that.
This team has been getting younger, and they have stopped trading picks away for 'win now'. I think this was Feaster's 'plan' to the owners, and this is why they decided to hire him on it.
Question is what will the owners do now that this plan seems to have failed? I still don't see the 'meddling' aspect - I see them as a bunch of owners that want to win, and got suckered by a smooth talking Feaster with a 'plan' that they wanted to believe in.

Still don't believe this to be true
