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 is widely known for his knack in grooming successful Quarterbacks like Matthew Stafford, Aaron Murray and David Greene. in 2012, Bobo was a finalist for the Broyles Award, given annually to the nation's top college football assistant coach.
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. Coming off McElwain's 10-3 season, Bobo's first two teams went 7-6. In 2017, they begin play in the brand new on-campus stadium with a team that has high pre-season expectations. Those expectations were quickly dashed after a 6-2 start, when Bobo's Rams lost consecutive games to Air Force at home, Wyoming, and then Boise State at home after leading by 25 points at two different points in the game, as well as leading by 14 with less than 2 minutes to go.
