After three playoff-less seasons culminating in a 4–13 disaster, the organization has acknowledged that its previous structure was fundamentally broken and rebuilt accordingly. Whether institutional wisdom and offseason ambition can translate into wins on the field remains the oldest and most humbling question in professional sport.
