He's very reluctant to sign long term deals and I think his management style is more likely to produce a .500 team than a championship team. He gets in the way more than he needs to and it seems like he breeds confrontation. But, he did preside over the Jordan regime and that's really been the only bright light in my Chicago sports following career.

You're definitely not the first to say Jerry gets in the way, but I actually think one of his strengths as an owner is that he generally stays OUT of the way. Seems to me that he has an attitude of, "Paxson and Ken Williams work for me, and I'll let them do the all the decision-making, provided they run major financial decisions by me first." In theory, that sounds like a very reasonable approach. Where I have problems is that he is incredibly stubborn in his dealings, and things go haywire if someone/something conflicts with that. Stereotypical business owner qualities.
