--The Fire have missed the playoffs four of the last five seasons. Garber sympathizes with frustrated fans. "(Fire owner Andrew Hauptman has) … turned this organization into a very professionally focused one. He has hired Frank Yallop who has been a winner in almost every year that he has been involved in Major League Soccer, and I'm confident that the performance of the team will only improve. … You just have to believe in management, believe in Frank, believe in Andrew that it's going to get better next year."
