It depends on how serious it has gotten this time with Gerry.
Lets say we were 90% sure we wanted Gerry and Gerry knew it.
Then suddenly Shertz or another coach shows interest, and we tell him no we dont want you after all.  For a second time.  LIterally gut him a second time - Lucy and the old football.

Gerry will move on and be a star coach elsewhere. Maybe he goes to BC and kicks our collective asses for years?
I would say the chances of Gerry returning within a 10 year window are pretty much slim to none.  Maybe never.

Basketball is a business to be sure, but you cant mind **** with someone twice in 4 years.

And the casual fanbase will be pissed initially, no big influx of season ticket holders.
No really big NIL out of the gate.
Yes, if new coach starts winning and we make the NCAAT, then the fanbase will buy in by year end.
But short term it is a gamble, less NIL, less season ticket holders.
Shertz or whoever will be on a scorching hot seat to succeed, even worse than GMAC would have faced.
