It might be possible that the NFL is letting MB fade out with his mantra intact but would put the boots to Katie and Troy to modernize a bit once he's gone if they don't do so.  It's pretty hard to imagine Mike Brown dying, Katie inheriting the team and then making herself the GM for the next 35 years like her ol' man did.

That seems like an antiquated business model that was grandfathered in and tolerated with Mike Brown and Al Davis.  The NFL is an oligopoly, and I can see them compelling teams to hold up what they'd deem to be bare standards of operation, and actually appointing a GM could become a minimum standard of operation.
