After every college football season, coaches across the country, including both head coaches and assistant coaches, often lose their jobs for various reasons.

However, one coach who did not lose his job is Mike Bobo, the offensive coordinator for the Georgia Bulldogs.

Georgia’s offense was inconsistent in 2024, ranking No. 51 in total offense, No. 102 in rushing offense, No. 12 in passing offense and No. 38 in scoring offense. Despite these rankings, the Bulldogs still managed to win the SEC Championship and secure the No. 2 seed in the College Football Playoff.

Georgia lost in the quarterfinals to the Notre Dame Fighting Irish, 23-10. The Bulldogs played without their star quarterback, Carson Beck, who left the first half of the SEC Championship Game due to an injury.

On “The Paul Finebaum Show,” SEC Network analyst Paul Finebaum stated that he believes Bobo should have been let go after the 2024 season. He emphasized that it is time for a culture change in Athens.



“What I don’t want to hear about Mike Bobo is his statistics,” Finebaum said. “The only statistic in sports is your final grade. I know the situation with players. One that got kicked off, the other one that later got run, injuries. That’s not, to me, what I’m talking about. I think sometimes you need a culture change. It’s unpopular to criticize Kirby Smart, but I did it anyway because I really believe sometimes you just need an infusion.”

Finebaum has been highly critical of Bobo since the end of the season. He previously stated, “I think you could walk down Peachtree Street and find a better offensive coordinator than Bobo.”

Finebaum believes that Georgia’s biggest issue lies with the offensive coordinator position, arguing that Smart is being overly loyal to Bobo. He expressed that the offense was the most frustrating aspect of last season. While he acknowledged that Georgia was a good team, he emphasized that the expectation at Georgia is to be great.

Bobo and the Bulldogs’ offense will aim to improve next season to meet those high standards.
