That is impossible to answer, as only MB can say that for sure. Really it's more about the principle than the actual dollar amount to me. Bobo is like the 40something highest paid OC in the country (which is absurd just on the face of it), the fact that we didnt' even TRY to counter offer is almost like a slap in the face to him. It's like mcgarity gave him the "well....bye" from tombstone.

If he wasn't countered, which I don't know is true or not, it speaks volumes about where Richt is as a whole with this administration.

In what way? I don't think it says a thing about richt and says everything about the AD. Hell richt paid his assistants out of his own pocket a few years ago because GM was so cheap. Richt goes to bat for his guys. No counter offer says to me that mcgarity is stubborn as a mule and he decided it wasn't worth the few extra dollars to keep bobo and let him walk just to save a little.

I mean honestly, as far as our OC hire goes we can go in a few directions:

1) Make a grand slam hire (whoever that may be) where we are forced to spend more than what bobo was making.
2) Hire someone at the same level as bobo's salary
3) Hire someone for less than bobo's salary

Choices 2 and 3 don't make us any better off (because the new hire likely won't be as good as bobo) so those are retarded. Choice 1, if there is someone that could step in immediately off the bat and be as good as bobo, is going to cost us more money than he was already making. So in that case, why not just give him a raise and keep him?
