In his end-of-season remarks last week, Broncos owner Greg Penner had a very Pat Bowlen-esque comment when he noted he thinks it’s important for him to be around and set expectations, but ultimately it’s supporting the people in the building to do the job on the field.
“My role is to enable them and then hold them accountable,” he said.
It reminded me of Bowlen’s famous quote about leading the Broncos:
“I would much rather operate behind the curtain and let the athletes and coaches be the entertainment,” Bowlen once said.
