The same folks who bashed Bobo are the ones who today bash the “Mailman”. It’s clear you can’t please everyone. This is an amazing hire. Bobo is a great recruiter, QB coach, Offensive Coordinator, etc. Like Muschamp, Bobo can step in on a 5 minute notice and take over any aspect related to our offense. Also, he adds another former head coach (and loyal alumni) to our staff. That’s incredible. Go Dawgs!!!
I agree. Many were saying the same thing about Muschamp. His input seems to have worked out well. I think Bobo will be a positive addition as well.
Sorry dude, Stet dropped a perfectly thrown pass into the back of the end zone to Mitchel and got the ball out to Brock under heavy pressure for a TD. Give it up and give Bennett his due. As well as the D played, if Bennett doesn’t make those plays, Dawgs lose.
JT’s stock in the portal is an excellent indication Kirby and Monken knew exactly what they were doing with the QBs and gives me great confidence going forward!
I thought workers had to be present for the “construction zone” aspect to kick in. I doubt there were workers at 9:25 pm. Still, is there anywhere in Winder that has speed limits in excess of 55, the limit posted for the “construction zone”? Furthermore, he’s lucky not to have been charged as a “super speeder” in a construction zone.
While Bobo had some success at UGA in the past, his last 3 positions have been a disaster. Not sure this is the right direction to be going.
I'm firmly in the "Kirby knows what he is doing" camp. Glad to see Bobo back in his present role. And I'm still enjoying the Natty. Go Dawgs!
Love it or hate it, Mark Richt’s loyalty to his coordinators is what ultimately cost him his job and Bobo has been forced from one place to another ever since for a reason. I really like him in an “analyst” role, but the guy was like Cheney as an OC: uninspired. If we had had someone like Monken in 2012 or 2017 and don’t spew constant 3 and outs against Bama, we win those games. Again, I LIKE Bobo, but analyst/QB coach should be his upper limit.
For starters, I was never a fan of Mark Richt as "HC". Your point about loyalty is spot on, the key difference in the decisions to bring Muschamp on board last year and now Bobo is that CKS is "firmly" in control of his program, yes they are friends but they are both good at what they do. IMO CMR was soft in a lot of leadership areas. He struggled with making tough decisions, I don't see that in Kirby. I believe the dynamics of the relationships are different with Smart, there is a level of respect of CKS's position vs that of CMR in the eyes of the players, coaches, and the university itself.
I like Bobo but he did have that bonehead 4th & 1 incomplete pass against the gamecocks.
Totally Disagree with you on CMR. Had he had the same Resources, Support from the brass at UGA, and been in the playoff system instead of the Extremely biased Bowl Championship crap he might well have won Two National Championships in his tenure. But he had to work for a large part of his time under possibly the worse AD that UGA has ever had. The brass at UGA wouldn’t pony up even vaguely the $$ they have for Kirby ( VERY Thankful we have Kirby, none of my comments are to knock on him) with CMR having to offer to pay his staff raises out of his own pocket !! Then lastly the Bowl Biased Group the majority of which despised UGA !! No Mark Richt was a Very Good coach but coming from Florida and not being a UGA alum he was considered an outsider by many ( still is) . Just go back and take a Close look at his first seven years in particular, which is about the same amount of time Kirby now has. Allot of people use Mark’s Faith to accuse him of being “soft” when actually it was the reverse. ONE DUI got you benched a game maybe even two under CMR same thing for busted for MJ use or any other bad run in’s with the law. That’s not soft. The thing is NO ONE will ever know For Sure good or bad what CMR might have been able to accomplish had he had the same tool kit as Kirby. Like the Indoor Practice facility just for one that he never had. I could go on to even more. I’m Extremely Glad that the powers at UGA opened their Very fat purse for Kirby. KS is like CMR a Very Good coach and UGA finally saw that they could Make $$ off the football program, Plus Kirby attended UGA as a Student/Player where as CMR didn’t. CMR Is and Always will be a DGD in my book just like Kirby is !!
Navydawg, I'm not knocking CMR's faith whatsoever. There are a lot of college coaches who place their faith in Christ but don't wear it on their sleeve to the degree CMR did. Richt was at a disadvantage but I believe a lot of it was because he didn't push hard enough to get what he wanted, in a lot of areas.
I didn't want to start a CMR debate but inevitably anytime his name comes up it stirs controversy.
My point was that the culture, thus relationships are different now than during the Richt tenure. I think Kirby will be able to separate professional vs personal relationships where Coach Richt couldn't or didn't.
First let me say I Sure Hope that Coach Monken will Stay at UGA. He’s a Great OC. PAY Him to Keep him !! Now THIS Mike Bobo is a Totally different version !! And I believe Better version. His first two stops after UGA stink, stank, stunk in terms of Resources and Recruiting (much of which rests on the lack of resources recruits dont want to go to a university with the locker room of a Class A HS). His third stop at Auburn couldn’t have been at a much worse time. They were in a shambles there and trying to rebuild. Still are to a large extent. BUT mean while these 3 stops gave Bobo much more experience, good, bad, and in between. He’s faced all kinds of defenses now. Some where he was the absolute final decision maker. Some where he had to line up with two different HCs. This is a Much more experienced and mature version than the young Still wet behind the ears OC he was at UGA. Now he’s at a Very powerful UGA !! His being set up for success at UGA now is By Far better than his three stops after his last UGA stent. And again this is a much more experienced and mature man. So IF Monken were to leave I wouldn’t be so quick to strike his name off the list. Bobo and Muschamp have Even More motivation to shine their Very Best at UGA, both of them sons are players at UGA now. No man wants to be embarrassed in front of his own son !!
