And I believe that Edwards has stepped up and taken over,trying to follow Harley's path in so far as being the face of ownership and taking a role at the league level as Harley did. Has to be commended for that. But it is different line of thinking and different style, and Darryl ran out of lives (in Edwards opinion probably).
"Win now"may be a mentality from Edwards and the owners (rightly or wrongly}but there are many ways to go about "winning now",and the ones that look after day to day operations have more control over how to logistically and roster wise go about the particular way they have to play out that mandate...
