I would hazard a guess that there are tons of family members running these organizations behind the scenes. Even football decisions, but we don't follow them that close to know who is doing what. All we see are the faces in the media. With the Cowboys, we concern ourselves with scouting assistants and interns. And as fans of the teams, it makes sense. But let's not act like nepotism doesn't run rampant on these teams. It's the way the NFL is built.
Does Brian Schottenheimer get a chance without Marty?
Does Britt Reid get a job without Andy?
Does John York run the 9ers if he wasn't married to Eddie Debartolo's daughter?
Does Kyle Shanahan get a chance without Mike?
Just saying, this is one of the most normal things to occur in the NFL. At least they didn't put him in some true decision-making role. Breaking down film is where he should start.
Hazard a guess? You literally have no legs to stand on here. No where else in the NFL does the family that owns the team also GM the team and run the football operations. The families you listed are coaching families which has absolutely nothing to do with this discussion.
