Robert “The Receipt Keeper” Saleh knows his Monday comment about keeping track of what Jets critics said about the team did not go over well.

On Wednesday, Saleh explained what he meant by that statement, which rubbed many Jets fans the wrong way.

“You guys caught me in a passionate moment defending the locker room,” Saleh said.

Saleh said he did not mean to take “a shot” at anyone and he was really trying to stick up for his players.

“Everyone in the locker room, including the coaching staff, knows how we all feel about each other,” Saleh said. “And my words, my display of emotion, which I do my best to control up here, is I’ve got conviction over it.

“This is not the Same Old Jets. But until we win, until we prove it — which is on us as coaches and on us as players — the shots will keep on coming. And so we welcome them, keep bringing them. It’s not going to change our mission and that’s to bring this organization and this fan base a winner.”

Saleh, who is 4-14 as Jets coach after Sunday’s 24-9 loss to the Ravens, said he understands the recent history of the franchise leads to frustration among the fan base.

“It doesn’t mean that I don’t appreciate the passion and the history of this organization in terms of what’s happened, especially over the last 11 years,” Saleh said. “Trust me, I get it. I’ve been on losing teams. It is not fun.”

Saleh said while the history of the organization is recognized, the job of the current team is to worry about the future.

“Everybody in this organization acknowledges and respects the past,” Saleh said. “But this group is responsible for the future. And while we do feel the past sins of the organization, we know that it’s our job to heal those wounds also.”

For Saleh and the current Jets, Sunday’s loss was just one game where the team made mistakes. For longtime Jets fans, it was the continuation of sloppy play they have witnessed too often over the course of the past 12 years.

Saleh has coached for many different teams, but he’s probably never encountered a team that has the “Same Old Jets” cloud hanging over its head.

“That’s probably the emotional part that got me on Monday,” Saleh said. “It’s just a lesson in, you can’t control the outside noise. And you can’t brainwash everyone or whatever [the word] is — you can’t convince people of what you see. They have to go see it, because they’re not here.”

Saleh said he knows that until the Jets win, the slings and arrows will continue.

“We have to go prove it on the football field,” Saleh said. “And my commitment and this team’s commitment to this entire fan base is that we’re going to go do it and that’s kind of what led to that frustration.”

Jets fans, who have endured six straight losing seasons and 11 straight without a postseason appearance, are tired of waiting but Saleh promised good days are ahead.

“I’ve said to you guys a million times I just know it’s going to happen,” Saleh said. “It’s just a matter of proving it. That’s our job. We’ve got to go out and prove it.”

As for whether his fire and brimstone can spur on the Jets, Saleh said he did not think words would do the trick. The Jets need to prove it on the field.

“I think it still comes down to momentum,” Saleh said. “I believe that once we prove to ourselves that we’re capable of doing things, it’s going to snowball into something huge. Part of confidence in this league is being able to prove to yourself first, learning how not to lose football games and how to win games.”
