Question for SC and AUB Fans about Mike Bobo

It's no secret that UGA fans have strong opinions on Bobo. (For and against). My question for ya'll is what were your thoughts on him when he was coaching your offenses? Did you like him? Why? If not, why? As rivals of the Bulldogs, are you happy/sad/indifferent about him leading our offense again?

I’m neither, but all of CFB was happy when Kirbs hired him back.

Pretty sure both didn’t like him. I think Auburn fans weren’t quite as harsh on him because their HC (Harsin) was an offensive guy.

He was a Harsin hire at Auburn. That whole time period is fricked and I wouldn't judge him on that.

Tough to gauge his time here at Auburn given how abysmal we were program-wide. But I’ll just say I’m not sad he’s coaching your offense and not ours.

I don’t think he did some amazing job with Auburn, but
1. He improved Bo Nix over what Gus had done, even if it was just incremental improvement.
2. He was probably the best coach on staff during Harsin’s entire tenure, for whatever that’s worth.
2021 before Bo got hurt had it’s ups and downs but the offense had some good moments right up until halftime of the State debacle. Bo got hurt after that and TJ Finley was not even close to an SEC QB.

I questioned his hire when it was made. Didn't care for him overall but he was a decent play caller. Not great, not bad and with the right tools he produces. The way he left here though after being kept showed some lack of character. Don't blame a guy for leaving for more money but how he did it shows his flaws as a person. Now as to him being at UGA, he and Muschamp both are where they need to be, coordinators and not head coaches. They both have shown a knack for coaching at the coordinator level. They make good halftime adjustments and should serve UGA well overall but their negatives may be a detriment in the long run. Bobo though, can get in a play calling rut and I would expect Kirby to pull him out of it when needed.

Things didn't go well when he was here, but I feel like any offensive coordinator we had during the Gus years operated in a Gus "frame"...and that generally wasn't something that put up numbers down the stretch. I know he loved the endzone fade.

Bobo didn't coach under Gus, so I'm not sure what point you're trying to make here.

Because of Mike Bobo, Muschamp didn't have a chance of retaining his job in the 2020 season. For that I'm grateful.
As an OC, he was trash. Not too mention that he chased off a very talented QB for us, just so he could install his mediocre QB from Colorado State because, "he already knew the offense."
Bobo is hot garbage. We tried to warn you guys. I know he did well when he was at UGA before, but the world has changed.

That's what I was afraid of.

He has shite for talent at both stops (and was handcuffed by harsin) so both fanbase are going to claim he sucks.
Posted on 9/18/23 at 2:06 pm to GainesvilleDawg
He will get found out this year right on que.
Posted on 9/18/23 at 2:09 pm to GainesvilleDawg
Good guy. Just seemed to have a thick playroom but didn't really run an offense. Just randomly called plays.
Posted on 9/18/23 at 2:11 pm to GainesvilleDawg
I have no opinion as I have blocked out every memory of the harsin regime. I'll defer to uga and usc fans on his worth.

This explanation is the best I have seen. He does have a tendency to get into a rut

I thought his play calling was shite. How much of that was Harsin? No idea. Like another Auburn fan said.........I am glad he is calling your O and not ours.
Fourth and one.....lets pull tank off the field and throw to some unknown TE from around midfield. I was out after that.

Dude is shite

Weren’t happy with him, but in hindsight it probably wasn’t his fault.

He sucks because he has a track record. He had *three* NFL wide outs (soon to be four with XL) and an NFL TE on his roster in 2020, and couldn't do a damned thing with them. Josh Vann couldn't see the field under Bobo, then takes off like a rocket as soon as he leaves Columbia.
He insisted on playing Collin Hill's useless arse out of either loyalty, or he and Hilinski not jiving, or something. He chased Hilinski out of the program, despite a thoroughly promising freshman year. Hill was noticeably slower, had a weaker arm, lacked functional knees, and was not nearly as decisive.
Marcus Satterfield did a better job with his WRs and QBs than Bobo did. That's harsh, but it's truth.
I will give Bobo credit for this: he was instrumental in turning Kevin Harris into a legitimate SEC tailback, which is something we have not had since. As bad as Bobo was with QBs and WRs, he did have a good running game.
What Bobo did at SC was borderline coaching malpractice.
