I'm sure that Hunt's bottom line numbers took a hit one way or another in that year. And for a owner who is really smart, and did what he needed to do after the fact (meeting with Andy and honoring Andy's wishes that working with Pioli wasn't going to work). That has to be acknowledged, because Hunt could have simply ignored us and continue to push on with the Pioli bullshit narrative.
It just comes down to how the owner is perceived. Like the Bengals owner, he's a cheapskate bastard. Same applies to Bidwell at the time.

The problem with sports owners is they have no skin in the game. They don't lose money. They just make less when they lose. Many owners have made it an art to spend just cheap enough to put butts in seats
