In early 2025, rumors circulated about Georgia Bulldogs’ offensive coordinator Mike Bobo potentially stepping down due to health concerns, specifically an autoimmune disease affecting his nerves. These speculations were fueled by reports from former Georgia quarterback Buck Belue. However, these claims were promptly refuted by sources close to the program, confirming that Bobo had no intentions of resigning and remained actively involved in recruiting efforts.
Prior to the 2024 season, Bobo signed a one-year contract extension, securing his position through the 2026 season. This extension included scheduled salary increases: his annual pay of $1.403 million was set to rise to $1.503 million on July 1, 2025, and to $1.603 million on July 1, 2026.
Despite the off-field rumors, Bobo’s commitment to the team remained evident through his active participation in recruiting and coaching activities. His health concerns, while acknowledged, did not deter him from fulfilling his responsibilities as offensive coordinator.
