What exactly is the problem with Jed. Unlike way too many owners, he stays out of the limelight and lets his coaches and GM do their job. If they continue to struggle over the rest of this year and next year, Jed will likely make a change. I prefer an owner like him to one that's always interfering with coaching decisions or trying to be the face of the team like Jerry Jones.
The Yorks took over ownership in 2000. 0 Championships. 6 seasons with a record over .500, two of those seasons coming from a coach the previous owners hired. 10 seasons with 10 losses or more. One coach in their tenure who had a winning overall record that was fired after going 8-8. Pointing out how much worse other franchise owners are doesn't excuse the poor ownership tenure of the Yorks.
9 teams have combined for over half the SB championships since it started in 1966. The Pats, Niners, Steelers, Cowboys, Packers, Giants Raiders, Broncos, and Reskins. Between those teams they've won 39 out of 55 games. 12 Teams have never won. Some haven't even been to one.
I guess that means that only 7 teams have had good owners (Green Bay has no owner).
I just stated historical records since his family has taken ownership, which in 20 (going on 21) years so far has resulted in 0 championships. 156-185 overall. While realistically you can't win a superbowl every year, the team has been mostly mediocre during that time due to poor decisions from his parents and from himself. He's also the one who set the expectation:
"It's up to us to make sure we compete for and win Super Bowls," York said. "That's our only goal. We don't raise division championship banners, we don't raise NFC Championship banners. We raise Super Bowl banners. And whenever we don't deliver that, I hope that you will hold me directly responsible and accountable for it."
Have they been the worst owners? no. Have they been good? Also, no.
