Headline: Mike Bobo’s Contract Extended Through 2026 Season, Cementing Role as Georgia’s Offensive Architect
The University of Georgia has officially extended offensive coordinator Mike Bobo’s contract through the 2026 college football season, solidifying his role as a cornerstone of the Bulldogs’ coaching staff.
Bobo, a former Georgia quarterback and longtime assistant under Mark Richt, returned to Athens as offensive coordinator in 2023 following the departure of Todd Monken. Since then, he has played a pivotal role in maintaining Georgia’s offensive dominance, guiding the Bulldogs to another successful campaign in the highly competitive Southeastern Conference (SEC).
The contract extension, confirmed Friday morning, is a clear vote of confidence from head coach Kirby Smart and the university’s athletic administration. While financial details were not disclosed in the announcement, sources close to the program suggest that the extension includes a notable pay raise and performance incentives tied to postseason success and offensive milestones.
“Mike has done a tremendous job continuing the standard we’ve set on offense,” Smart said in a statement. “His experience, leadership, and deep understanding of the Georgia program make him a vital part of our continued pursuit of championships.”
Under Bobo’s guidance, Georgia’s offense ranked among the top in the SEC in points per game, total yards, and third-down efficiency during the 2024 season. His return also brought a sense of continuity and familiarity to a program that has thrived on stability in recent years.
Bobo’s extension is expected to help with both player development and recruiting, especially among quarterbacks and skill-position players who have praised his coaching style and play-calling.
With this move, Georgia sends a strong message: consistency and loyalty remain at the heart of its championship-caliber culture. As the Bulldogs set their sights on another title run in 2025, Bobo will continue calling the shots on offense.
