We talk inside a lot. OK ? And I don't ever ask for patience from anybody. Let's get that clear right now. All right ? And the fans have every right to have an opinion. That's why they're fans. They have every right. You buy a ticket, come to the stadium, you have every right to boo me going out of the stadium. That's the way it is. That's what we sign up for, right ? And it's New York. It's supposed to be a tough place to be, certain cities in this country, they don't even know if their teams playing today. All right ? So you sign up for a job in a city like New York, you expect to have this. I never shied away from that. I ain't worried about that at all. When we talk internally, you look at a lot of things moving in the right direction and you know the targets of what you have to improve going forward. The important things is we know the direct targets of what you have to prove.

… But in terms of the next step to take, I can tell you right now, OK, I know we're a whole lot closer where we're going than further away. I can tell you that right now. I can tell you we got more players here who are going to be free agents next year, all right, who are in my office every day begging to come back. OK ? I know that. Where player who we coached last year that still calling me twice a week talking about how much they wish they were still here and they're getting paid more somewhere else. So I know we've got the right foundational pieces there. I know we have some players in key positions who are guys that you can build with and keep carrying on.
