As others have mentioned, I don't see any particular effort to transform this team into a championship caliber team, starting with the glaring lack of offseason changes.
That said, the team is also constantly criticized for being outdated, for not listening to fans, to not improving the stadium experience, for not changing the uniforms and for not honoring players of the past. They are now addressing those things and appear to have someone with some energy coming in to make changes. I'm not a rabid social media follower, but I've certainly noticed great improvements in their online presence.
I can personally separate what she is doing for the fans as something different that what the FO is doing for the product on the field. Would I prefer wins and no twitter videos and new unis? Sure. But do I appreciate the fact that they're targeting a demo of people under the age of 40 who will be the next generation of fans? Yes, yes I do. According to some quick searches online, the mid-20s to mid-30s demo is the biggest viewer demo of NFL games, meaning this is the the generation they're targeting. So while the demo on here skews older based on the platform, it's not indicative of the overall fanbase and whether social media should be of high importance.
I still stick by my feelings that ZT better get dropped like he's hot if he comes out of the gate as poorly as he has the past two years. But that doesn't mean I see everything else the team is doing as completely pointless. If ZT can't turn it around this year and they bring in another coach who can, this team can still be in a great place in 2 years, and fans will have a better overall experience with the team to go alongside of it.
