I know of his reputation but don't have any first hand experience.
But I've also never defended him and in fact have in the past expressed a view that I think ownership is a negative factor in this franchise.
In the current state I think ownership is allowing the team to re-build based on the actions they have taken. If they were really trying to win I just don't know how you can justify not doing anything, including spending more cap, to improve. Just doesn't make sense.
If I have a criticism it's that it's silly to be so firm on not calling it a re-build. As I've said, I don't think they are giving fans enough credit.
And if I have a fear, it's that ownership expects a shorter timeline to contend again than is realistic, and that lack of patience could be a factor in the re-build failing. But they may not have a choice because when I look at this team, and what's in the pipeline - I think they are going to be bad for 5 years at least.
But I don't think at any point I've defended the ownership.
