Barring a last-minute change of heart, Mike Bobo will be South Carolina’s new offensive coordinator.
Three sources close to the situation confirmed the hire to The Post and Courier on Sunday. They each spoke on condition of anonymity due to USC’s Board of Trustees having to meet to authorize Bobo’s contract.
USC can’t officially confirm the hire until a contract has been approved. The Board is expected to do so on Tuesday.
Should make for an interesting experiment next season.

Bad career move for Bobo; not sure why he’s going to SCU. I just don’t get it.

Mike’s health and Boom’s temperament won’t mix real well for recruiting or game day management. Good for Bobo, but not worried about it.

Yea, no worry here. I have doubts that Mike Bobo can put in 16 hour days and a 100 plus days on the road. And after being a head coach, hes gotta go put up with coach booms shit

Either this is “Just another example of the Georgia Way” or “Manball for the win!”. Sigh.

Disagree; the Georgia Way would be for Kirby to hire Bobo as OC. After all, UGA still is a good ole boy network today, with the president, AD, coach, etc all being UGA alums. The program and University as a whole needs fresh ideas and not just a continuation of alums hiring alums.

No, the Georgia Way would be for Kirby to want to hire Bobo, but run into an objection from McGarity over the contract terms.

Ok, so Bobo is off the board. That’s fine. Coley still needs his walking papers.

Truly liked Bobo when we had him, but had my doubts about him working out under his good friend Kirby. Could’ve devolved into another Richt/Martinez situation. Still, Coley needs to be exited from the building STAT.

I saw a story when Kirby interviewed for the Auburn job (they hired Gus) he stated Bobo would be his OC. They have at least talked about being on the same staff before. I bet Bobo didn’t want to work at UGA with McGarity as AD.
Anyways…my first call would be to Mike Yurich at Ohio State. Offer him the keys and 100% control.

What about Joe Brady?

Don’t see Joe Brady leaving.
Auburn did not want a Pro style offense, they fired Borges and went spread. Franklin and then Gus were OC, Chiz went back to pro style also going winless in the SEC. Auburn hired a spread guy again in Gus. Lowder and company knew they weren’t going to out Bama Bama. Any pro style OC was a non starter for Auburn.

Ok let’s talk turkey! Who’s available? Bobby Petrino? No? Not him? How about Art Briles? No? You don’t want him? I hear Butch Jones is available. Don’t like him either? I think Terry Bowden left Akron-how about him? No? Let’s get realistic. Bobo is the best guy available and whatever it takes we need to hire him as OC. He may be the only guy that can drag Kirby into contemporary offensive football.

All this means is that Bobo will be back on the market next year, after Boom gets a pink slip.

Does it make any sense to hire Aaron Murray as QB coach? He was always a student of the position and got some good NFL training. Could he then be developed into an OC?

Actually, I think Joe Cox has got a big head start on Murray as far as coaching goes. Among more recent ex-UGA qb’s that is.

Can’t blame Bobo for not wanting to come back under McFrugal, and agree about how difficult it is to work for friends, but this is a bad move for Mike. He isn’t desperate for a job, but how can anyone think Boom is going to last long in Columbia, and you are tied to his success. Unless Evil Bobo is plotting a Palace Coup and wants to be there when the opening occurs.
Bad part is, Bobo is uniquely qualified as someone who can work magic within the confines of a pro-style offense. We have seen hi do it, he may really be the guy to give KS his cake and ice cream too without trading off (some) of his principles.
