re: Richt v McGarity tension

if he was paid market value and thought he had a shot at HC at UGA.... or at least wanted to be a HC for the current regime. Would he have had his agent activey shopping him?

Bobo wanted to be a HC. Period. And rightfully so. Think of it this way: Kirby Smart has now watched Bobo and Muschamp both go on to succesful stints as coordinators before moving onto HC jobs. Meanwhile, he is barely mentioned anymore amongst HC positions. Bobo saw a good opportunity to do his own thing with his own staff on a team with some talent and in a winnable conference. He wasn't going to get the HC job at UGA and, if so, it wasn't going to be anytime soon. As of today, though (and barring some meteoric collapse while HC at CSU), he is already begin tabbed as the frontrunner for the UGA job once Richt leaves. So, not only is he getting paid more to be the HC of a school that he can have success at, but he has automatically upgraded his standing for the future if and when the UGA job comes available.

This was a no-brainer move for Bobo the moment the opportunity came about.
