Personally, I take Jimbo either way.

Jimbo is 50. Herman is 41.

Nick Saban is 65 and at the top of his game. Too many teens and early 20s dudes on this board think 50 (Jimbo) is old for a coach.

I have reasons for Jimbo because he's more of a known commodity. NC ring as OC, NC ring as HC, playoff as HC, he knows these stomping grounds, proven recruiter.

But it's a 1A vs 1B with Jimbo/Herman IMO. There are no guarantees, you hire the resume.

That's fair. And I concede Jimbo clearly has the better resume. He is the smarter and safer hire. But I still want Herman. Jimbo seems tired to me.
