I concede he’s just an opaque guy, but I do think it’s part of the reason, yes. I also think it’s developed in part in response to getting repeatedly raided, so the failure of the policy doesn’t weight too heavily for me here.
BB does not think titles are dumb and if anything knows the power of titles as weapons from his brief tenure as HC of the NYJ. He essentially only
gave Mangini the DC title to keep him from the job he wanted with Crennel, for example.
I’m not sanctimonious about it, Bill gonna Bill, and it’s also part of why we don’t know what Steve or Mayo or Matt or anyone else actually does. Yes I think the opacity could help limit Mayo and perhaps others attractiveness by design. Then again, he was seemingly
more than happy for Judge to run the Giants, so as ever what the hell do I know.
