I don't agree.

But hypothetically, if Gerry were coming off this season at Siena, and Red was an AC, and it came down to the two of them in 2023 -- maybe.

The frustration comes from: why would it only be them as candidates?  The last hire was botched in no small part by dysfunction, politics, and croneyism.  We're seeing similar dysfunction play out now, only with BOTH the AD and head coaching search.

Fans are tired of this baloney.

Howzabout instead of crossing our fingers with potentially unsuitable candidates, we just hire the best guy we can?

The university has themselves to thank for subjecting fans to three years of hot garbage, with easily the worst P4 coach.  At some point, all of the dysfunction is either going to ruin the program long-term, or needs to be put in check.  Its time for the adults to regain control, and stop letting inmates run the asylum.

Because guess what?  If Gerry is hired, and the turnaround isn't immediate, he'll have an even shorter allocation of patience from the fanbase than Red did.  And Red lost a significant portion of confidence during year 2.  Fans are voting with their wallets -- so if the powers that be decide to bring in another roll of the dice candidate, you reap what you sow.
