Not hiring Jimbo Fisher when Saban left was the biggest colossal failure of Skip Bertman tenure as AD.

Instead we got Les Miles.

Fans would have melted down.

This is revisionist history.

Yeah it's clear now that we probably would have been better off with Jimbo than Les.

That said, at the time, Jimbo had no HC experience so it would have been a big gamble. I can definitely see and agree with the argument for not hiring an unproven HC.

I'm more mad about the more recent time we could've had a proven Jimbo and screwed it up. I really hope we're not kicking ourselves years down the road knowing we could've had Jimbo but passed. Hopefully we can get someone in power that can make amends and go get Fisher this year, assuming he has any interest whatsoever in us remaining.
