the owner often sets the tone when building a franchise by hiring the right people: management, coaches, spending, etc.
He is saying that culture was set in place already.
So if I bought the Patriots over the summer and they won a Superbowl the same year and then I drove them into the ground by making poor decisions, does that make me a good owner?
