I'm just not a huge fan of making a change like that mid-season. Now, if we win out and Richt wants to run Bobo off and give it one more shot as the playcaller himself for next year...I'd be willing to quietly sit back and see how that goes...
I don't want anyone like the HC fired in mid-season either. I don't think an interim coach is going
to offer the program anything at all.
I also happen to believe that Richt would not call the same plays that Bobo would call. I think the
playbook is the Richt playbook, but the actual situational calls would be different. We've seen Richt
call games in the past, and it wasn't the same thing Bobo does. I just think Richt delegates and
then doesn't step on the toes of those who he delegated to do certain tasks. He gave the offense
to Bobo, so in his mind the offense belonged to Bobo. The good about that is that is the way
you should be... It's the way many successful managers operate. The problem is Richt is such a
nice guy and such a believer in the inherent goodness of his chosen ones that he is extremely
reluctant to step back in and admit they can't do the job.
