Mike Bobo extends contract as Georgia offensive coordinator through 2026

Georgia Bulldogs offensive coordinator Mike Bobo has signed a contract extension that keeps him with the team through the 2026 season, despite facing significant criticism for the team's offensive performance during the 2024 season. Bobo's salary will increase from $1.403 million to $1.503 million on July 1, 2025, and to $1.603 million on July 1, 2026. The Bulldogs' offense struggled last season, scoring an average of 31.5 points per game, a significant drop from 40.1 points in 2023, which raised concerns among fans and analysts. Kirby Smart defended Bobo, attributing the struggles to strong defenses and turnovers, rather than play-calling. As Bobo enters his third season in this role, expectations remain high for improvement, especially with new talent added to the roster. The Bulldogs' upcoming season will be pivotal for Bobo’s future in Athens, as continued underperformance may reignite calls for his dismissal.
