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.

In the outside world,a true franchise such as McDonalds have specific rules and SOPS that are followed or they go under or are taken back by the Franchise. It appears there are no requirements regarding needing GMs, size of scouting dept , facilities etc. The way the TV revenue is equally shared creates the MB scenario. No incentive to win and sits back, farts and collects his stipend. I would imagine there is some sort of language in the franchise contracts that opens the door for intervention when its going so poorly that it affects the NFL brand …..just sayin

If they can't force Jerry Jones or Dan Snyder out, what makes you think they can for Mike Brown? Mikey doesn't rock the boat like those 2.

 Ineptness is not a valid enough of a reason to force an owner out.
