Message: [QUOTE="CooperCuse, post: 5698859, member: 7119"] Interesting. I'm not privy to what the "real reasons" might be although I'm certainly curious about the why. I know the idea exists that Red was a "bridge" hire from the JB days to whatever comes afterward. But that always sounded like a flawed plan from the start. You hire the guy that you think will be the best at the job, not someone to manage the decline or transition to a different era. I always believed that Gerry would be a tremendous head coach based on his playing days and his will to win. Competitive fire is a must have trait. Red doesn't have it, Dino didn't have it. Gerry has it. [/QUOTE]
