Hopefully the owners that openly did this get caught and punished severely.

They'll get punished just like managers in the WWE who "cheat" get "punished."
It's all for show. It's a TV show. If you play the game, you get fired, but you get a new job. Let's say, you get fired as the Head Coach in Anytown, USA. Dallas. Jerry Jones fires Mike McCarthy (it's gonna happen, if not this year, then next). Guys like Kellen Moore, Dan Quinn, Al Harris, Joe Philbin, John Fassel...these guys have been in the league, been around the league, had other jobs on other teams - Al Harris was DB coach here under Bob Sutton, iirc - they ill get new jobs. Maybe Kellen Moore or Dan Quinn gets promoted - Jerruh loves to promote from within - so they'll even get to retain most of their position coaches, so those people don't even have to pack up and move to Buffalo, or Indy, or wherever their kids get to stay in the same schools and they don't have to look for new houses - it happens.
SO this whole, "that doesn't makes sense, the coach that tanks will lose their job, etc" - maybe, maybe not. But even if you lose your job, your entire coaching staff will get recycled and rehired somewhere else within the NFL fraternity. It's the same with players, who just need another paycheck. They go to Detroit or New York. Jacksonville. Remember when Chicago brought Orlando Pace out to play LT, even though he could hardly ****ing walk?
You NEVER truly get fired from the NFL - you just get to move from St. Louis to Chicago. From Miami to Indianapolis. That's all. Play the game the way THEY want it played, and you will be set for ****ing life. Andy Reid was unemployed for like 2 days in his almost 30 year NFL career as an assistant and head coach. He plays the games the way THEY want them played. It's why the Eagles had a 7 minute drive in the 4th qtr of that Super Bowl against Brady even though they were down by two scores. Until Mahomes, Reid could make it look good. You could blame Alex Smith or Bob Sutton in 2018. But it seems like he always has these massive playoff collapses, no matter what :
Smith/Sutton : Indy, 2013
Smith/Sutton : Tits, 2017
Mahomes/Sutton : Pats, 2018 (I don't consider this one the "failure" some do, but ome blame Sutton and his defense for the loss, so...)
Mahomes/Spags : Bengals, 2021 - inexcusable. Absolutely the worst, most heartbreaking loss from the most talented Chiefs team on this list...
Reid is the common denominator. And, with the exception of the 2018 "Dee Ford" loss to the Pats, it's ALWAYS Reid's vaunted offense that goes cold as a hooker's heart as soon as the Chiefs roar out to a giant lead.
Colts
Tits
Bengals
It's Reid.
It's Reid.
I'm ****ing telling you...
