Based on his gold foil scattering experiment, Rutherford proposed the atomic planetary model where is suggested that there is a positively charged nucleus with the electrons revolving around it. He didn't propose the path in which electrons are moving.

According to Bohr, the electrons travel around the nucleus in fixed path called orbits. The electrons could jump between these orbits either by losing energy or gaining energy.
