Similar in structure to half of the NFL perhaps, but Murphy comes across as a bumbler, which not be the case among most league owners.

A number of owners have tried to be their own GM, and how has that worked out?
A number of owners have attempted to be the Yankees and Red Sox and just buy all the big named free agents.
Have you seen Jerry Jones, completely fail to be able to keep his mouth shut and even talking about wanting some gloryholes! (I'm not sure he was sober)....
The Colt owner often put his foot in his mouth before getting caught with drugs and sorta being told to shut up....
The former Titans owner got emotional and gave the crowd the middle finger...
The Dolphins owner has often seemed like a bumbler when trying to explain his moves.
The Redskins are one big giant bumbler... since the owner took over they went from the longest season ticket lines to not being able to sell them, because the owner is nickel and dining them, including making them pay for training camp tickets... which by NFL rules, scouts can't visit other team's training camp unless the team makes viewers pay... so the entire division sent scouts down to watch their entire training camp and study their plays and players.
The Bengals owner is a mess, claiming they can't make enough and when people point out they could make 8 figures a year by selling stadium naming rights, they simply say that's not enough and refuse to do it, despite also reportedly having the smaller budgets in the NFL on a number of different categories, and struggles to hire anyone.
The Browns owner has had a knack for getting involved in personal moves, including forcing Pettine led Browns to draft and then play Johnny Football, when he clearly wasn't ready... for making game day coaching decisions.
Raiders former owner Al Davis keput getting into legal lawsuits with the NFL and rumor has it, he would often get frustrated and make a call down to the field and yell at them for not throwing the long ball enough...
