Kirby Smart is turning to an old friend to be Georgia’s next offensive coordinator, as Mike Bobo is set to take over for Todd Monken. The latter left for the Baltimore Ravens offensive coordinator opening on Tuesday. Seth Emerson of The Athletic was the first to report the news

What are you talking about? Richt was a very good recruiter. Maybe not at the level of Smart but he was top ten just about every year.
Richt recruited very good. Top ten just about every year.
Not sure about this hire. I never liked Bobo that much and always questioned his play calling years ago when he was leading the Dawg's offense.
Only hope Bobo he learned a few things from Monken...nothing to do about it but wait and see.
Maybe Todd will leave his playbook and "what-to-do-if-this-happens" answer sheets for Bobo to follow!!
Transfer portal may get active for some folks come May 1st...
Think you pegged it UGA66.....Monken style with the Bobo smile. There is no doubt that we will continue to spread the ball around to every play maker on the field.
Barely ever had any 5 stars. Never really had that top class in the conference. Didn't really load up on position groups like Smart does. Like signing 4-6+ DBs in almost every class. It's also not like we weren't lacking talent. Just not enough of it. Smart pretty much is close to having a full man next man up. Whether thru recruiting or practicing.
With the talent currently on the roster, I could call the plays. As far as coaching goes, Bobo coached some very good QBs in Greene, Stafford, and Murray. While I am not glad to see Coach Monken leave, I think Bobo will be fine calling plays for this talented group. It’s also seems relevant that one of the best WRs in UGA history, AJ Green, played in a Bobo coached offense.
One thing is for sure, we will all be complaining about many plays called. I was wondering at times about plays Coach Monken called, especially all those futile runs up the middle on third and one or two that gained zero yards. I’m sure I’ll do the same about some plays Coach Bobo calls. I’m also sure he knows more about offensive play calling than I do, but I will still complain from time to time.
Richt didn't out recruit Saban. That's the only knock you can realistically have against him. We didn't load up? We were running back U! We sure as hell had some good QBs, RBs and WRs come through here under Richt. Look, I understand that Smart recruits at a higher level. I also understand that UGA has given Smart more to work with as far as backing and facilities go.
Let's not act like Richt didn't recruit talent under Richt. Richt recruited Shockley, Stafford, Murray, Greene, Gurley, Michel, Chubb etc. Bobo had the parts to build a top notch offense throughout his Georgia tenure.
Not happy about this...but hopeul .... Go DAWGS!!!
