Our surprising 12-5 is mainly due to who?

[OnceWeWereKings]

I think the people that we should celebrate are the same positions that we consistently spoke against for 25ish years. I think that a complete turnaround starts at the top and works its way down. We have a competent owner now, that puts people in positions to succeed instead of trying to squeeze every last cent out of every last pack of peanuts. So, I would say that we would have to look at the Harris ownership group as the focal point for turning a corner. If not for them, would AP have come here to GM this organization? Would this franchise be somewhere that coaches and players looked to come to instead of washed up re-hashes looking for a payday?
The culture shift I think is directly correlated to him purchasing the team and putting the right people in the right places to start a rebuild successfully.
Remember when Harris employed former Golden State Warriors GM Bob Meyers and former Vikings GM Rick Spielman to help search for the new coach, and how that seemed like an odd play? Turns out Harris knew what he was doing, and how he wanted to approach owning this franchise. Immediately he put the wheels in motion to right the ship. I'd have to say he is the singular reason that everything has started to turn around.
Now we can just hope that with more pieces being put into the correct places that they can build sustained success.
