Bobo Wants to Compete!

It appears that Mike Bobo, unlike the other coaches at Georgia, was, like the rest of us, disappointed with how we played last season. Not only that, but he's got a challenge ahead of him to ready Cox at QB, adapt the offense and sync up the patch-work O-line (props to Searels for keeping this part easy). He discusses all these things in a post written up by Chris Low at ESPN.

Good for him. My favorite quote's below:

"Even though Georgia finished second in the SEC in total offense and third in scoring offense last season, Bobo said the bottom line was that the Bulldogs lost three games.

"Yeah, we had some productive numbers and all that, some good stats, but that really doesn't mean anything," said Bobo, who recently received a $57,500 raise to take his salary to $325,000 annually. "We lost three games, got blown out in two of them and basically disappeared in stretches of those games and then lost to our archrival, Georgia Tech, in our last game.

"I'm excited about getting out again and getting going. I'm glad we came back in the last game and beat Michigan State in the bowl game and ended on a positive note, but there's still a bad taste in our mouths around here."

I'm glad he sounds pissed off and ready to try again. That's what we need, a little fire in our bellies. The Senator commented on this article as well, summing it up nicely:

"That’s all I wanted - to hear a coach say what most of us have been grousing
about for months. Nothing about the schedule. Or the injuries.
Or how unbelievable some of Georgia’s opponents were. Just that the staff
and the players didn’t get the job done as most of us would have liked."

Well said, Senator.
