Mike Bobo’s role as Georgia’s Offensive Coordinator has been a major offseason debate, with many fans questioning whether he is the right fit. Following Georgia’s College Football Playoff exit, Bobo faced harsh criticism, with some calling for his dismissal. However, Bobo recently signed a contract extension, making his departure unlikely despite ongoing fan frustration.
Kirby Smart addressed the situation during a media session as Georgia kicked off spring football. When asked about Bobo’s job status, Smart showed unwavering support for his coaching staff, emphasizing his confidence in their experience and ability. Smart stated that he doesn’t pay much attention to external noise, highlighting the foundation and leadership within the program.
Bobo took over as Offensive Coordinator in 2023, and while that season was largely successful, the offense underperformed this past year, leading to heavy scrutiny. Despite the criticism, Georgia still secured an SEC Championship, which likely played a role in keeping Bobo in his position. However, if offensive struggles continue in 2025, Smart may have no choice but to reconsider his coaching staff.
For now, Bobo’s job appears safe, especially with Smart’s backing. While fans may remain skeptical, the current staff is expected to lead Georgia into the upcoming season. Whether Bobo can silence his critics and improve the offense remains to be seen, but for now, he has the full support of Georgia’s head coach.
