    With a few exceptions, football coaches tend to have played at a decently high level compared to the level they're coaching. Sports tend to be decent at choosing managers that have experience with the job itself. Front offices, on the other hand, are a different story.

        Yeah, owners are almost exclusively billionaire shitheads (or the offspring of billionaire shitheads) who maybe played the sport in high school. Front office guys are a mix of owner failsons, former players (usually in the scouting and GM roles), and -- in the last 20 years or so -- basically finance/analyst guys.

        Coaches aren't in suits (at least not in American football) and are almost entirely guys who played at least in college.

        The owner for the Florida Panthers is a little bitch, I know it's hockey but like I'm allowed to be salty about the logo change from cool panther to. "I served and will now change the logo to jerkoff to when I served by making it basically the airborne logo but with a panther :)"
