Mike has always understood (extreme) loyalty and nepotism. What he's never cared about is doing any catering whatsoever to his fans/customers. Especially if it conflicts with his deeply held values. Many owners understand the public service aspect of owning a team. The affects a team can have on a city. Mike has always been ignorant to this and/or doesn't care.
Art Modell supposedly did his father wrong 55 years ago, and by golly he will never fire a coach if he can help it. It's a very selfish stance that ignores how the NFL works and how stagnancy/complacency can affect a fan base. Thankfully, it looks like Katie/Troy have ever-increasing roles in decision making.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
