IMO, it's only silly if you think Linehan had absolutely no say in anything after giving Devaney authority, which is pretty unlikely. Giving Devaney authority over running the draft and having the final say doesn't mean Linehan sacrificed his ability to have any input. So in this instance, it seems Bernie is praising Linehan for making Devaney the top of the draft food chain, but is also praising him for the input he still provided as it related to character issues. I see that as entirely possible.
