I do think the owner's influence makes an impact.

He completely gave the orders to do what ever it takes to get to, and win the Super Bowl last year.
He did the same with making sure that the club was in the headlines all the time. From moving up for Goff, moving to LA, wheeling and dealing with his front office

Not sure that he has an edict for his front office now.
I'm sure he could care less that the 49er fans fill his stadium. He'll take the revenue.

Will that change as the season continues to disintegrate?
Will he authorize some sort of headline making news once again, or will he trim sails and be less invasive?
