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?

The thing is, that is not what Mr. Khan said.  He simply stated that he would have the final say over personnel decisions.  He also said that the GM and the Head Coach would both report to him directly.  That wasn't the case when Tom Coughlin was here and I'm not sure about prior (I seem to recall Tony Khan being in that position).

A good example of micro-managing would be the fact that it was speculated that Fournette was a "Coughlin pick".  There was also speculation that Coughlin forced Marrone to start Nick Foles when he was healthy even though Minshew had been doing well.

This past season he gave Caldwell and Marrone one last chance to be successful, and I see no evidence that Mr. Khan was "micro-managing" any of their decisions.
