There was a time when that was associated with guys that stayed home and were family man. Isn’t near as much the case anymore especially in sports, but I agree this group seems a bit more of a throwback. Again, they can do whatever they want. I don’t care so long as they do the job they are supposed to.
He definitely doesn't come off as the average billionaire sports team owner. Will be better received by the people of Baltimore for sure. Peter sort of had that I'm elite and high class aspect to him and John was just an a hole.
I think Rubenstein is happy with Elias and will keep him for as long as Elias wants to stay. I imagine he will compensate Elias at an elite level. So Elias should stay unless he has some personal reasons for wanting another job. Maybe a team he grew up as a fan of and getting a chance to run that club. However I think he is happy enough here. Let him get kids in school and his wife gets friends and all that make it hard as hell to leave. Heck even Oakland's Beane used his daughter as the excuse for not taking the dream job of Boston.
If I had to bet if Rubenstein lets him run the club the way he thinks is correct and pays him on an acceptable rate of an elite GM he should stay. There really is no higher job for his career path. Only bigger market clubs might be a draw.
