New Uniform Reveal Today: I was there....

So they're essentially tossing her to the wolves.  Sending how her out there with the ammo equivalent of free hot dogs and new uniforms isn't going to go over well with some fans after making no changes at: GM, Director of Personnel, Scouting department, Head Coach, Offensive Coordinator, and Defensive Coordinator.

I will say that I agree with you that she shouldn't be judged on things outside of her control.  I'm not writing this to pile on or anything like that.  But...BUT, for me personally her making the rounds is having the opposite of the desired effect they're seeking.  It all just sounds like marketing bullshit meant to sell product (tickets, apparel).  I definitely don't care about social media and emoji posts, I don't care about free hot dogs, and new uniforms were way down my list in things that needed to change.

She may very well be good at her job but I do think the organization could do a better job of reading the room.  When you've had the 30 year stretch they have had, then the last 5 years, and then the last 2 years, having a mid 20's bubbly female go out there and talk about change and wanting to win more than anything is going to ring hollow if there aren't structual changes to the organization.

Just my 2 cents...

I see your point, but for me, I felt she did two really good things that really needed done this winter. Stood up called out the league for ignoring Rattler (I don't think S.o.P. would've), and finally a ring of honor for the guys they paid to lay it on the line. Jerseys? Meh, take em or leave em...I only attend a few games a decade, so the free hotdog means nothing. I want wins too, but I'll tip my hat to her for those two things.
