Mike Bobo
Quick Bio: Vol fans probably remember Mike Bobo from his time at Georgia. Bobo was the Bulldogs’ offensive coordinator/quarterbacks coach from 2007-14 and was the QB coach from 2001-06 before his promotion. He spent nearly a decade and a half at Georgia before accepting the head coaching position at Colorado State in 2015.
Pros: If you want SEC experience, Bobo has that in spades. Not as a head coach, but he has it. And he’s helped Colorado State find success after Jim McElwain left them for Florida.
Cons/Questions: Bobo took over a less talented Colorado State team after McElwain took them to a 10-3 season in 2014, but he hasn’t really been able to make significant strides. This season has been his best so far, but it’s concerning that he’s yet to truly break through. Not only that, but there are plenty of concerns about his offense while at Georgia.

How about thinking outside the box since inside the box isn’t working. Hire Steele as Associate Head Coach and Defensive Co. and hire Tee Martin as Associate Head Coach and Offensive Co and let them pick their assistants. Double or triple their pay. Egos shouldn’t be as big a problem since neither are head coaches. Fans will give them the time to develop. Just sayin’….
