DeBartolo expressed excitement about building on the young talent within the team while also focusing on broader organizational improvements. His first media remarks reflect a commitment to enhancing team performance and aligning strategies with modern approaches.
The fans are right to be frustrated. We're all frustrated. ... Simply stepping up our game is not enough. We need real change.
We have a lot of interesting, exciting, young [players] to build on. We have a lot more we need to build.
I'm excited to bring a fresh approach, a fresh voice to this role, and integrate more data, more technology, more innovation into our decision-making across the organization at all levels and hopefully improve the performance of our players as well.
Coming from an analytics background and building up that department, I'm excited to try to leverage both analytics and also new technology throughout the organization.
