Let me be clear here.  I think Wildhack made a huge mistake not hiring Gerry instead of Red at the beginning.  I have friends who supposedly know JB who said Gerry was JB's choice, not Red.  No clue if that is true but I always have believed that Gerry would be a great coach. And he bleeds orange.

Was led to believe the hiring of Red over Gerry was more about optics than anything else.  Again, no idea if that is true.

Again, see what he has done with Siena.  Watch some of the games on ESPN Plus and watch how he coaches.
Watch some of his news conferences.  The differences with Red's game time coaching and news conferences are stark.

That being said, I think many fans would be anti Gerry as coach before he even coached a game because of the JB exhaustion and frankly how badly Red has screwed this up.  They will give him less benefit of a doubt than anyone from the outside.  Those people want a complete reset - and believe me they outnumber those who want Gerry right now.

I think it would be incredibly hard for him to succeed in that kind of environment when everyone is looking to find something to criticize him for.
