GEEEEZZEE Man, it must **** to live in your world where you never get better than your worst! I would suggest you get to know Mike Bobo as a person/coach before you cast dispersions. I'll help you by telling you that Bobo is a very smart individual. He's made some mistakes and wrong turns....who hasn't in their careers? He has experienced success along side a master OC and he was raised in a coaching family. He knows how to get the best from talent especially QB's. This will be a year of epiphany for you sir.
@GtheGreek
First, it’s aspersions, not dispersions.
Second, why do I have to “know Bobo as a person”?
I gave my opinion, and that is that.
You disagree? Good on you.
My opinion is based on his team’s past performances and decision making while under his direction in an entertainment and sports industry that is college football. I am not pointing out his “mistakes” any more than the thousands of articles titled by various sports content writers posted after embarrassing losses while he was the OC and his team was favored by 10 or more points and the offense underperformed which resulted in a team loss.
I am not looking for qualities in him that I would at my church’s adult Bible study class or my kids peewee football team.
I am looking and speaking about winning qualities in a coach that has a proven track record of success in the toughest conference in college football.
You and other talk about Bobo’s numbers during 1 year that they were high at UGA: so what? Did they win the SEC East that year? How about the SEC?
Bobby Petrino has been a QB coach and offensive coordinator for decades, and his numbers run circles around Bobo’s numbers! But would you suggest hiring Petrino and using his numbers in the past as an OC to justify it like you do with Bobo?!
Of course NOT!
Because he hasn’t had any success in winning any rings or conference championships!
I am not casting any aspersions at Mike Bobo. I could care less about his values as a family man, how he raises his herd of kids, blah blah blah. That has nothing to do with the meat and potatoes of being a solid offensive coordinator with a track record of solid positive results and contending for a championship every single year.
Mike Bobo is a bad hire, IMO.
@Kudzu
I appreciate you posting the article by Barrett Salee.
That article he wrote doesn’t mention or highlight one single glaring mistake or game plan deficiency where Bobo’s adjustments or lack thereof cost his team a game because his well-known stubbornness trait that anyone who watched his offenses for 8+ seasons could easily tell you about.
IOW it is a clear puff piece that even mentions “But he has a reputation; he's not highly thought-of by the fans”. That is the only statement he makes but he doesn’t give examples of WHY Georgia fans do not think highly of him. Then Sallee goes on to puff away and throw out names like “Aaron Murray” and “continuity” as if that is supposed to convince a Georgia fan that has more knowledge about SEC football than a 6 year old that Mike Bobo really isn’t as bad as “those pesky Georgia fans” state openly that he is.
this is the same Barrett Sallee that was the ONLY cbs writer to predict OSU defeating Georgia both ATS and SU, along with some other tidbits he added in:
So, with that posted, I would venture to say that his article and opinion on the Bobo promotion to OC has about as much worth as a COVID shot does for a 20 year old tri-athlete in 2023.
Thats where I am at.
