i do. but where it becomes difficult, for gerry not me, is that one of doty and kiyan doesnt. i know which way i would go.

Doty will either start or be used as the sixth man the way Dion was.

Agreed and when we were essentially told that Gerry was going to be the hire largely because he'll bring NIL that no other coach we could hire would bring... this is what his dollars brought us? This is not what most expected, which is why some are voicing concern and disappointment so far. There is still time so let's see what happens.

Who told us that Gerry was hired because he would bring in more money? There was some board rationalization that that was why he was hired, but in the end that counts for nothing. Was this something said by the University? If so I missed it. If Gerry is having a hard time bringing in NIL, do you really think Hodgson or Schertz would have brought in a bigger enough amount to make a difference?
I think it is mostly a matter of fans’ expectations being too high and not aligned with the actual availability of players and the increased cost to sign them. No it’s not a matter of settling, it’s being realistic about the NIL we have and the options players have.

i think doty would be a phenomanal; 6th man.

If you're seriously asking this question, you're right, you definitely missed it. This was reported by insiders.

Schertz supposedly turned the job down, not sure what the story was with Hodgson, but I think there is some confusing of why GMAC was hired and the potential benefit of the hire.

My earlier comment was simply that it was largely reported by people "in the know" that the hire ultimately went to Gerry because he was going to galvanize some to contribute a significant amount of NIL that another coach would not be able to do.
