Georgia football offensive coordinator Mike Bobo has faced his fair share of criticism over the last year. Most of that came from UGA fans as they went as far as to beg for him to be fired after Georgia's loss to Notre Dame in the College Football Playoff.

But Bobo hasn't been immune to negativity from outside the fanbase as well as ESPN's Paul Finebaum has been outwardly against Bobo for quite some time now. Finebaum in the past has agreed with Georgia fans that Bobo needs to be fired, but like Georgia fans that wish has not been granted.

But Finebaum's displeasure for Bobo hasn't stopped as he recently said that he believes Bobo is an "inferior offensive coordinator."

Is Finebaum right?

While there is a good argument to be made about why Bobo should be fired, there also are a lot of reasons why Bobo deserves to stay at Georgia. The biggest reason being that UGA just won an SEC Championship, so why should Georgia get rid of a coach who played a big role in that?

The argument against that is that Georgia's main goal is to win a National Championship, and they did not come close to accomplishing that this past season. There also is no denying that Bobo could have done a better job during the 2024 season, but all things considered he really didn't do all that bad.

Georgia suffered a mountain of injuries during the 2024 season, especially on offense where their offensive line and running back rooms were extremely depleted. But even though that was the case, he still helped lead Georgia to an SEC title and CFP appearance.

So even though people may want Bobo gone, only Kirby Smart's opinion matters about that. And considering Bobo signed a contract extension last year, it appears he isn't going anywhere.

But at the end of the day, leave the criticism to Georgia fans because UGA doesn't need outsiders telling Smart what he should or should not do.
