By your definition then, there are no circumstances under which a business owner could ever micro-manage any decisions which are financial in nature under.  Sorry, but you're incorrect and actual ownership is not necessarily a relevant factor. 

Regardless, we're only talking semantics.  How would you describe an owner who has publicly stated that the (yet unknown) incoming GM will not have full authority to do the job he was hired to do?  Meddlesome?  Interfering?  Controlling?

At one pole you have Jerry Jones and Dan Snyder.  At the other end you've the Paul Allens of the world who have very little to do with football operations. 

Most owners are somewhere in between.  

They are the employers of the GMs they hire, and accordingly they stay apprised at the very least and to varying degrees, involved in large decisions. 

There's no need to polarize Shad Khan to the extreme Jones/Snyder end of the spectrum because he made clear he won't allow a Coughlin-style rough-shod takeover dumpster fire to take place. 

If Khan saw Coughlin come though his building and proceed to alienate multiple first round picks and pro bowlers while putting the team in cap hell and then he DIDN'T want to follow that by being part of the discussion in roster transactions, then I'd be very concerned about his sanity. 

I bet if we sit back and analyze over the next year exactly how "meddlesome" Khan is with his new GM we'll find he's just making sure his franchise doesn't get screwed over again.
