Once they start collecting more losing seasons, the perception will change again.
Just the fact that we have Tobin shows it's different the only reason he isn't a GM is because of the lack of title. I thought part of what Marvin did and what people give him credit for was changing the culture around the organization from miserable to stable. Just because the organization hasn't changed in one aspect doesn't mean they haven't changed their approach in other ways in 26 years.
Something had to have changed from the 90's the gradual improvement just doesn't fall into your lap magically.
