Cornet tweeted his successor a thoughtful message saying he should focus on the craft and not internalise public criticism.

"Risk. Risk. Risks! Bag of tricks (invite memory), artistry, and PLAY! Play sir. It’s too soon to take anything to heart. Play my brother, just play. Because that’s what it is, a play. Our profession requires us to play, and when we are tired of playing, we tap out."
