Risky move bobo

It's possible that Bobo was told UGA would prefer someone who has head coaching experience for our next hire. I think that's a good strategy and Bobo took what was available. If he does a decent job over the next few seasons, teams will take into account the fact that CSU is not a strong program. If he completely flops, then we've dodged a bullet.

Possible, depends on how well he does at Colorado St. However, in the short term he got his first HC position, a huge raise and an opportunity to advance his career. As for Richt, he's not at all old so he could coach at UGA for 10 more years; who can say? Bobo might well be prepared to come home as our replacement by then. Only time will tell. But one thing you can count on is our admins will not be bringing in a high profile/expensive replacement for Richt when the time comes.

Could you not have posted this in one of the other 700 Bobo threads?

ALL HE HAD TO DO WAS WAIT JUST A FEW MORE YEARS, WHAT A FRICKIN IDIOT! Once he flames out up there, no one is going to give him a head coaching position and Pruitt will be first to get an interview when Bobo would've been favored. Absolute idiot.

Would you rather him flame out in Athens instead?... I don't get this line of thinking.

Bobo is following a coach who runs a system similar to the UGA "O" that Bobo knows so the players are already familiar with & were recruited for the pro-style system that Bobo runs. That's much better situation than trying to change from a spread team into a pro-style team.

BSU & BYU are no longer in the Mtn. West so the talent he's going to be going against isn't overwhelming as it would be if he were going to UK or Wake Forest for instance...

The administration at CSU has shown they are committed to their football program by casting a nationwide net for guys like McElwain & Bobo. Even tho Bobo isn't personally known by a ton the HS coaches out west his reputation precedes him & the things that make him a great recruiter in the SE will become quickly apparent to the HS coaches & kids out there...

JMO, but I see it as a great opportunity for CMB to prove he has what it takes. If he "flames out" in Ft. Collins the odds are that he would've "flamed out" in Athens also...

IMO he had to do this to ever be a serious contender for the UGA spot.

Are you serious? You must have no connections if you think it's any harder to get in Georgia than Colorado.

Me? No, I don't because I don't "roll". If I wanted it, yeah, I could get it. It's still exponentially easier when it's as readily available as a coke in a convenience store. To argue otherwise is pure foolishness.

"His salary shouldn't have been an issue because 500,000 is plenty in Athens."

Just love the idiots who presume to tell people how much they should "be willing"to do their job. Sure you would stand pat and decline a million dollar raise.

"What the hell would one do as a millionaire in Athens?"

Probably the same as one in Alpharetta or Valdosta. Your disappointment in his decision is born of selfishness and in how it could potentially affect something YOU care about(UGA football). You couldn't care less about Bobo or his aspirations and your logic(or lack thereof) bears that out.

The tired and worn out interpretation of most UGA fans (South of Macon) is so annoying.
Get over yourselves!
