Coach Bobo is as good as his QB. We scored many points with Mathew Stafford but couldn't stop anybody. The he has J. Cox, but still at the top in scoring in the SEC.

No, I am not saying Richt should have cleaned house on the offensive side as well. I am saying that Bobo does not deserve a big raise and that his grace period is about over. Maybe he gets a tiny bit of a pass this year because of the QB situation, but given the development of the running game, probably not even that. I agree with everything UGA69Dawg said.

How about $450k? or $550k? Just kidding - I hear your point.

The problem I have with Bobo is that he got a lot of heat taken off his back by the way the fans went after Willie. While the D didn't do their jobs the O didn't help out a lot. The O turned the ball over not the D. The O got stoned by UT and UF. The TOP was not helped by all of the 3 and outs. I know that statistically we had the second best O in the SEC but we padded those stats against teams who had bad D's. Look at the Bowl game our O was awful for 3 quarters against the worst D in the Big 12. Bobo was schooled by Joe Kines for god's sake (remember what a great D Joe had at UGA?). Bobo is still OJTing the OC job and to pay him 750K would be a slap in the face of the more experienced DC. Bobo's not crazy he knows he has much to learn and he should thank his lucky stars that Willie was around to take the bullet. Let's see UGA put up some good numbers on UT and UF then we can talk raises.

Thanks for the comment. Are you saying that Richt should have cleaned house on offense as well? Is it possible that lack of confidence in the defense made for conservative offensive game planning? Just saying...

Coach Bobo has not earned the big bucks. That simple. He has never won a Broyles Award. He doesn't have a great track record when it comes to sending his players to the NFL (out of Greene, Shockley and Stafford only one was a starter and remains in the league). And during his short tenure as OC, UGA has gone to the Sugar Bowl, the Citrus Bowl and the toilet bowl. Looks like regression to me. He was lucky that the focus of attention last year was the defense. I think the 2010 season might be sink or swim for him, especially if the defense is markedly improved. So, out of all of the scenarios you propose above, I am thinking #3. or #4. are the most likely.
