The ownership helps them just going full go.

But this could be anything.

And this is 100% speculative, but I want to just throw out this scenario out there just to give you an example.

Because Joe Shane, where he was part of this, is being part of the pushback in this.

Not because John Harbaugh wants to reduce Joe Shane's role necessarily or fire Joe Shane or anything.

If he wanted to fire Joe Shane, I'm sure he would have just said, I want you guys to fire Joe Shane.

And that would have been a sticking point.

And Joe Shane would either be fired or John Harbaugh wouldn't be the head coach.

But it could be something like this.

Let's say John Harbaugh wants his own assistant GM, right?

Or just thinks that Brandon Brown isn't doing a good job.

Yeah.

Just like Joe Shane didn't want Kevin Abrams as his assistant GM.

They moved in some other role and then brought in Brandon Brown.

But say he wants him in there.

If I'm Joe Shane, I don't know if I'm agreeing to letting you hire and fire an assistant GM, right?

Where we talk about reporting structure.

I don't think that's the point of it is that from a Joe Shane self preservation point, that's not good because then I start reading the tea leaves.

I'm like, ah, you just hired my replacement.

You hired my replacement, so we're going to go into the draft, and I'll be quote-unquote the general manager of the team, but you're going to have the final roster, say, on the 51%, 49%, which is what these negotiations basically come down to, as well as 51% who has 49%.
