It seems like the line between the manager and the front office is weakening, and in a best case scenario you have a manager that perceives himself as more a part of that operation than independent of it. (Worst-case, the manager is an angry island of resistance). Does this also explain the decline in histrionics?

It seems like managers are moving away from having their own, unique culture, stemming from their player days but becoming its own thing. But as they get more integrated to front offices, and are selected as a result of being front-office-friendly players, managers are probably closer to wearing dress shirts than they've ever been.
