CJM had the benefit of an amazing Defensive coordinator and and excellent head coach, Bobo did not, which is why I stuck to offensive accomplishments. McElwain offense vs Bobo offense - both are fairly accomplished. But I will agree that Bobo has had some bonehead moments. Though, it could be Richt overriding things in certain situations that leads to bonehead calls.CJM 2 national championships , 1SEC championship is more accomplished than CMB's 0 and 0 over last 4 years. It is not always about overall offensive output. Identifying the team's strength and playing to it, is more important than statistical numbers . Coach Mac designed an offense to control time of possession , shorten the game and compliment the defense. Mike Bobo's offense has been really good at times, and not so good at critical moments. Inconsistency and bad play calling at critical times are lowlights of the last 4 years in Athens. They are also the reason many will not miss Mike Bobo in Sanford Stadium.
And, if we're completely honest, while CJM was great at Bama, he had his share of boneheaded calls, too. There were plenty of occasions where we were running the ball down someone's throat and on 3rd and 2 he called a pass play.McElwain offense vs Bobo offense - both are fairly accomplished.

After final interviews on Sunday that included school president Tony Frank, Colorado State Monday was closing in on a deal to name Georgia offensive coordinator Mike Bobo as the Rams' head football coach.
Bobo, 40, would succeed Jim McElwain, who accepted the job at Florida after guiding the Rams to a 10-2 regular-season record in his third season at CSU.
The hire of Bobo at least on the surface would be going back to a repeat formula — tapping a Southeastern Conference offensive coordinator — as CSU attempts to build on the Rams' surprising season and move toward finalization of plans for construction of an on-campus stadium to open in 2017.
He's gone...Who does UGA hire as his replacement?This is bad. UGA might get a competent play caller now..
Lane Kiffin, the way things are going.He's gone...Who does UGA hire as his replacement?
In my lifetime CSU has had a handful of winning seasons. Well, maybe more, but my point is that they are a little known bottom feeder in a lesser conference. Hiring another SEC OC is bound to be a boost to them. I think they will do well under Bobo. I am sure CSU can dig up some awesome numbers to impress recruits with ..... while not 2 NC rings and such, still it is better than having hired a HC from Furman or some such place.I suspect Bobo would do well at CSU.
uga's problem is still at ugaThis is bad. UGA might get a competent play caller now..
to be fair, georgia fans do not realize muchI think Bobo can and will be successful at Colorado state. Georgia fans may not realize it, but they are losing a good OC. Best of luck to him.
Let the Death Knell on Mark Richt's regime begin.uga's problem is still at uga
In an expected move, we have confirmed that Will Friend will have the title of Offensive Coordinator joining the staff that Mike Bobo is putting together at Colorado State.
