Head coach Kirby Smart and the Georgia Bulldogs did not take long to hire another offensive coordinator after Todd Monken accepted the Ravens’ offensive coordinator role.
Mike Bobo served as an offensive analyst for Georgia in 2022. Now, Georgia is hiring Bobo as its offensive coordinator. Bobo was the Bulldogs’ offensive coordinator from 2007 to 2014. Bobo coached quarterbacks from 2001 to 2006 during the Mark Richt era in Athens.
A lot of things have changed since Bobo left as Georgia’s offensive coordinator in 2014. Kirby Smart and Todd Monken helped Georgia win back-to-back national championships and have recruited at an elite level.
The Georgia offensive line and defense are playing at a much higher level than they were during Bobo’s final few seasons as offensive coordinator at Georgia.
Bobo was the head coach at Colorado State from 2015-2019. Bobo served as the offensive coordinator at South Carolina in 2020 under Will Muschamp and in the same role for Auburn for the 2021 season. Bobo has significant experience coaching in the SEC.
Bobo helped develop quarterbacks David Greene, Matthew Stafford and Aaron Murray. Now, he will be tasked with determining Stetson Bennett’s successor as Georgia’s starting quarterback.
Georgia has a core of coaches that are former Georgia players. Kirby Smart played in Athens from 1995 to 1998. Mike Bobo played quarterback at Georgia from 1993 to 1997. Will Muschamp, who played at Georgia from 1991 to 1994, is the Bulldogs’ co-defensive coordinator.
Seth Emerson of The Athletic first reported Bobo’s hiring:
Mike Bobo will be Georgia's offensive coordinator again, replacing Todd Monken, multiple sources tell The Athletic.
