There is a New York franchise that knocked on championship\u2019s door and had it answered by heartbreak year after year in the 1990s \u2026 tested its fanbase\u2019s loyalty during a dormant two decades \u2026. finally returned to the brink of a title \u2026 and ultimately made a bold coaching change in hopes of finding the missing ingredient.<\/p>\n
