Beachwagon - I don't know if I've read a more accurate statement. Saban would not have done this - ask Major Applewhite.
I guess that Kirby Smart and Josh Brooks have a higher opinion of Mike Bobo work than UGA supporters. If it's good with Kirby, It's good with me. I trust Kirby.
Let’s see. How did Coach Bobo do at Colorado State? How about as OC at South Carolina? How about as OC at Auburn? Was it simply the players at all those jobs?
Low priced for a high quality coordinator of a major program, but then….
Tough when you hire a friend. It appears it's only a 1 year deal (?) Or is it two. Either way maybe that's a hint to MB to get with it…and NOW. Or ya done at the end of the contract. Too bad Baltimore is happy with Todd. Be nice if he'd come back 🙏
Well, I'll cash in this coming season. Hope the D can pull the team….
Bobo is responsible for three of the best offenses in UGA history, but he had a down year so let's fire him, I'm sure the next guy will do better.
This is hypothetical Question from me Not a statement. It’s one of those What If types. What If the Dawgs have an explosive and dynamic Offense this year ?? Does Bobo get any credit or will it be that better players were brought in ??
I’m sure Hoping the Dawgs will be explosive on Both sides of the ball. I’m usually positive to the point of having red colored glasses on. But For Now I’m pretty negative.
I need to see a Huge turn around from the O Line based on Far Better coaching from Searls. On the Defensive Front concerning DTs and DEs we just don’t know if there are Consistent not flashes but consistent havoc makers.
Now these things said I believe there’s just to much talent on this Dawgs team to have an utterly Terrible season, but it Might not be type season we as Dawgs fans have become used to and Now expect.
It could be a 9-3 or even worse 8-4 season, but I believe 8-4 would be the worse case scenario.
Like all of us I have the right to change my opinion as the season progresses. To me the war will be determined in the trenches by the Big Men. Let’s hope they can play superior ball. Kirby has done really, really well thus far. Maybe he knows things we viewing from the outside don’t. He’s sure gonna be under intense scrutiny !!
@reddawg1 From your post: “However, if coaches get the credit for when the players do well, they should at least be subject to some criticism when the palyers don't perform well. If not, why not? You can't have it both ways.” That is a powerful and True statement from you !!
You also stated you were on the fence about firing Bobo and that you just wanted to see him do Better. That’s yet another great statement !! I’m not frothing at the mouth like a rabid Dawg to see Any coach fired out of some sort of personal vendetta. But Like you I want and Expect them to do better, Much Better.
These coaches make Allot of $$ and they also have built in fringe benefits. They have a Responsibility to the Program and the Fan Base to Win games as many as humanly possible and on a Consistent basis.
Yes there will be some down years along the way. But UGA is a top tier program so “ down” years should be few and spread out. So there’s nothing wrong at all for Dawgs fans to Expect better. We rotted in the chamber of obscurity for to many years to turn back now !! I don’t have any personal malice against Any UGA coach. But they have great players on this team so I Expect them to Earn their pay and coach these very good to great players UP and Win Allot of games. I think that’s a reasonable expectation. Go Dawgs !!
"Coming off the 2023 season, Bobo put together one of the best offensive seasons in Georgia history. The Bulldogs — with a first-time starting quarterback in Carson Beck — averaged 40.1 points per game. For his efforts, Bobo was a finalist for the Broyles Award, which goes to the nation’s top assistant coach."……..2024 was the culmination of so many negatives, the toughest schedule in D-1, a QB that was "off", injuries, and spoty player resolve/leadership…..indeed Bobo played a part as did every coach but given what I believe is one of the most talented teams The Dawgs have ever fielded, 2025 promises to be as good as 23 and potentially better……fear not rabid Bobo haters, after 25, Drew will be off to the NFL and I expect Bobo to step down……I'm sure he and Kirby have talked it over and a replacement has been id'd…….I vote for Buster!
3 UGA offensive linemen will get drafted in April. Yurosek, Arian Smith, Etienne,and Lovett also. Our former QB will be drafted maybe as the number 1 QB pick next year. Not to mention other offensive players that arent draftable yet that contributed in 24.(Luckie and Delp). 31.5 points per game? 7-8 games where we scored less than 10 points in the first half? Whats wrong with this picture?
Well it looks like there is a division in the nation . Let’s hope that the old dawg can learn some new tricks .
I think Bobo Can lead the Dawgs to victory with the players now on the roster. But I’m not sure at this point in time if he Will lead the Dawgs to victory. His major stumbling block is the O Line. So Bobo needs to put a saddle on Searls and ride him !!
Coley is a Great recruiter but not so sure about his coaching skills with the WRs. He will have allot of fresh talent to work with. So get the job done.
Yes Bobo does make bad play calls and he seems to get stubborn at times trying to force certain plays to work. BUT there are times Bobo calls some brilliant plays. The man is Not s t u p I d about the game of football. He Knows what to do. His biggest problem is being stubborn not to give up on certain plays that are not working. Now these things said, IF players can execute at a high level they Can and Will over come bad play calling just by sheer talent, execution and motivation.
I’m wondering if the Technique the O Line is being taught is the problem ?
Lastly I’m Hoping that Bobo has took a deep long look in the mirror and told himself I’ve GOT to change for the sake of the program, the fans, and even myself. Bobo Is very capable of making good play calls, he has the knowledge and experience.
He just has to rise above that stubborn streak he gets and be Much more innovative. No not “trick” plays but solid fundamental football that is Proven to work with high level players. There’s Plenty of Hope Yall !!
I'm not happy with the 24 season, but would you rather have the OC they had at TX 😹or AL? At least we didn't get beat twice by the same team. At least we didn't lose to a team that would not even have gone to a bowl if they hadn't beaten Bama.
It doesn't speak well of Smart that his being "buds" with Bobo keeps him from seeing that Bobo is a mediocre OC, at best. He has no creativity, and calls mundane plays that the the other team knows are coming. He has never been a winner anywhere he has coached.
You think Kirby would choose friendship over winning? Did Kirby tell you that? Did Kirby tell you he cannot be objective when it comes to Bobo's performance? Then you crossed the line of slandering Kirby.
UGA offense was record-setting, up for assistant of the year. Last year was a step back, for sure. One year does not make a trend. This year UGA could score 40 a game again.
2 more things: 1)It takes complimentary football and even you know the defense was not nearly as strong as usual last year.
2) Kirby knows both football and the multiple factors of what went on concerning the UGA offense last season, I know you may find this very hard to believe but it is so true, a million times better than you.
We trust Kirby. So should you, unless it is 2027 and we are having this same trend and Bobo is not out of there.
