Am I the only one that hated the Bobo hire when it was Kevin Steele's rumored choice but now that it is Harsin's I'm talking myself in to Bobo being able to turn Nix into Stafford?
No, me too.

Yes. But I was 100% against Steele. He could have hired the Chiefs whole staff and I would have still checked out.

I just think if they are going to pay Bobo around 2 million then they could've got almost anyone they wanted.

He just left Tennessee for S.Carolina. Was with Bobo at CSU and at Georgia. This makes sense.

Imagine the melt if we hire Bobo plus a mediocre DC. At that point we could have just kept Steele

That’s because we expect Harsin and Bobo to work together instilling Harsin’s offense. With KS, Bobo would be the lone offensive mind.

I like the move. I mean, his offense has progressed this year, and USCe beat Gus. He is bringing in talent and ran off a few guys at QB. Hopefully we have a legit QB competition this year.

and they thought Mason was coming as DC. We rekt them with these three hires.

Tennessee has issued a contract freeze in their program related to investigating recruiting violations.
Obviously, Friend recruited quite well at Tennessee Bag man is back

Wonder if he made friends with Tee Martin

Yeah I'm just going to go ahead on record and say I think the Bobo hire is Harsins first misstep. UGA recruits itself, what big time players has he recruited at other schools? His offense and his ideas are outdated, I won't hold USCe performance this year against him too much but he did make the terrible choice to start Hill over Hilinski.... I'll support the move in the sense that I want us to win and winning cures all.. but I'm not feeling good about this hire.

Auburn will finalize Mike Bobo as the offensive coordinator & Will Friend as the offensive line coach very soon.

Didn’t he get a 5* qb at South Carolina just this year?

Other then Friend as Oline coach, what would the rest of the O staff look like?

Bobo isn't awful, but I seem to recall him saying Cam Newton should be a tight end, and recruiting HS QB Nick Marshall to play corner. I realize that both of those guys were much better suited to Gus' offense than Bobo's as potential quarterbacks, but Jesus, talent is talent. One won a Natty and the other one went there.
This critique doesn't make any sense. Nick Marshall was originally signed in 2011; the timing there is important because Aaron Murray came to Georgia in 2009 as an elite recruit and actually played like one in 2010 as a redshirt Freshman, which means that he had already locked up the starting QB position for the foreseeable future. He would go on to start for Georgia until 2013 as one of the most productive QB's in league history. It's also important to note that in Marshall's class, Georgia landed QB Christian LeMay who we ALSO wanted over Nick Marshall at QB. Your critique here is driven by "after-the-factism" and doesn't account for the fact that they already had a top performing QB on campus who had years of eligibility left, which drove the obvious move to recruit Marshall at CB.
Cam was a bigger "miss", but the same logic as above apples there as well: Cam's first season at Florida was in 2007, whereas Stafford's first season at Georgia was in 2006. Then, when Cam came back as a recruit out of JUCO in 2010, this was Murray's first season at UGA and he had already been impressing coaches as a redshirt which meant that they weren't going to recruit a JUCO transfer to start over him.

Not super excited for Bobo as OC (mainly due to his time at USCe) but Im going to trust Coach Harsin on this one. Dude has me pumped for football already.
