OT should Auburn hire Bobby P or Jimbo

I'm not convinced either guy is great anymore. It's entirely possible they got wealthy and lost some of their edge. Neither has looked sharp recently to me. If I'm hiring I'd rather get the young/hungry guy with something to prove.

Jimbo still reels in elite recruiting classes so he’s clearly working hard, but he has a detrimental loyalty to assistants just like Tubs did. Most coaches would have fired Rick Trickett a long time ago and Charles Kelly as well. Once Mark Stoops and Pruitt left, their defense has been ass
 
Both are elite proven corches. Bobby at a place it's hard to acquire elite talent, particularly on D. JIMBO had a Heisman caliber QB go out for the year. Both bring a ton to the table unlike Gus who brings zilch at best. I much prefer JIMBO of the 2.

I think people forget that Louisville also just moved to the ACC, which is a big step up. Even when Charlie Strong had things rolling there, they were still in the Big East. Bobby still has to upgrade the talent there

My issue isn't the fact they may have less talent. I'm a bit underwhelmed by his teams performance in non-talent areas like dumb mistakes and his own clock management stuff. He's been really off since about the middle of last season TBH. And if we're being fair in how we crush Gus for not knowing what he had in a QB, the dude totally should have crushed us in 2015 opener had he just started the freaky freshman and had him prepared to play as their starter in that game. Instead he was just as confused as 2016 Gus was, rotating QB's and trying 3 different guys that were totally different players.

I've been a huge Bobby fan and wanted him hired when we hired the nose picker. Was mad at AU for not being brave enough. I'm just a bit concerned that he's lost some of his edge and he's never been a plus recruiter so he needs to be sharp as hell on all the coaching stuff.

Yes I think it’s too late to hire him, but I’d love for Tennessee to just to see what he could do at a program like that and one that doesn’t need a rebuild

I’d take Jimbo out of the two because he can put a good staff together and recruit defense.

Rather go younger at coach though
