I am not sure historians agree on that point. Most do agree (and I admit my sample size is small so it may be skewed) that Hood was the wrong choice.
Jeff Davis was trying to get his friend John Pemberton into the fight...he even suggested he replace Bragg the previous OCT to no avail.
My belief is William Hardee would have been the best choice...but I don't know if he would have been ultimately successful.
