Georgia football found a way to escape their SEC opener with a dramatic 44-41 win in overtime over the No. 15 Tennessee Volunteers. The Bulldogs received a lot of help from Tennessee in the form of a missed field goal at the end of regulation to propel them to victory, but Georgia did what they always do and knocked off Tennessee for the ninth year in a row.
There were a lot of positive takeaways from this win including the emergence of Gunner Stockton and many of his wide receivers. At the same time however there are a lot of reasons for Georgia fans to be concerned going forward, and at the top of that list is Offensive Coordinator Mike Bobo.
Georgia fans haven't been the biggest fans of Bobo over the past year, but their frustrations reached an all time high as many fans felt Bobo took his foot off the gas in the third quarter which allowed Tennessee to stay in the game. And in true Georgia fandom fashion, UGA fans took to social media to express their displeasures.
Georgia fans express extreme frustration with Mike Bobo
If we lose this game Mike bobo should be fired tomorrow. Had 2 chances to put the foot on the throat. 2 possessions to basically end the game. Run run pass punt. Run run pass punt.

Can we fire Mike Bobo yet? I think we all can agree his redzone offense has been terrible.

This is why I hate Mike Bobo, you have an opportunity to really put this away then you run those place up the middle for no gain, then that’s your goal to get the third down on a third and seven.

Todd Monken won't be walking through Sanford Stadium's doors
If Georgia fans had their way, they would easily bring Todd Monken back to Georgia. Monken was the Bulldogs Offensive Coordinator for Georgia's two National Championship teams, but after the second title he packed his bags and moved on to the Baltimore Ravens in the NFL.
Bobo has been in control of the Georgia offense since his departure, but he has failed to live up to the success Monken found.
Monken unfortunately won't be walking through Sanford Stadium's doors to save the day unless it's to watch UGA from the stands. And that reality is what upsets Georgia fans the most.
Bobo has had his chance to prove he is the right guy to lead Georgia's offense, but he is yet to show that he deserves this job. It's unlikely for Kirby Smart to fire Bobo during this season, but unless something drastic changes this year Smart will be left with no choice but to find a new Offensive Coordinator if he is serious about winning multiple championships again.
