Robert Michael Bobo (born April 9, 1974) is an American college football coach and is the head coach of the Colorado State Rams football team. He succeeded Jim McElwain at CSU, making him the second consecutive SEC offensive coordinator hired to coach the Rams.[1] Before then, he spent all but one year of his adult life with the Georgia Bulldogs as a player or assistant coach.

Playing career

Bobo played for the Thomasville High School Bulldogs (Thomasville, GA) before playing college football at the University of Georgia (Athens, GA). Bobo was a four year letterman with the Georgia Bulldogs football team from 1994 to 1997. He was the MVP of the 1998 Outback Bowl and holds several Georgia passing records.

As a senior in 1997 he threw for 2751 yards on 199 completions in 306 attempts and had 19 TD to just 8 INT.

Coaching career

Georgia

Bobo remained at Georgia as a member of the football administrative staff under Jim Donnan. After one year as a graduate assistant, he went to Jacksonville State as quarterbacks coach.

A year later, he returned to Georgia as quarterbacks coach under newly hired Mark Richt. He was promoted to offensive coordinator in 2007. He helped groom very successful Quarterbacks in Matthew Stafford and Aaron Murray.

Colorado State

On December 23, 2014 Bobo took the head coaching job at Colorado State University, that was previously held by Jim McElwain who left for the head coaching vacancy at the University of Florida.
