I don't have an issue with the ranking. It's up to the team to change that perception.

Was thinking this too. In the case of Carolina, they must. Dunden has rolled up his sleeves and made it obvious he is part of the decision making. It works in their case.
I would prefer this. If owners want to be involved? Fine. Just don't obfuscate and hide behind a GM. Make it clear.
I find it disingenuous when GM's are left to explain decisions that turn out later to have come from above. Like a trade doesn't go down because a certain president/owner wasn't reachable by the deadline.
What's worse......
1) an owner meddling in the background and making unexplainable or bad decisions
or
2) an owner being up front (to some extent) about involvement in bad decisions?
