The 2018 season started disastrously, as Colorado State lost badly to Hawaii in their home opener, Colorado, Florida, and FCS Illinois State. Their lone win during that stretch came with a come-from-behind victory at home against Arkansas. The Rams finished a dismal 3-9, their worst record since the Steve Fairchild era.

The 2019 season showed little improvement, as the Rams finished 4–8, including losing to rivals Colorado, Air Force, and Wyoming for the 4th consecutive year.

Offensive coordinator at Georgia (2001–2014)

Mike Bobo joined the staff in January 2001 as quarterbacks coach under new , marking the beginning of his prominent role in shaping the Bulldogs' offense. In this capacity, he focused on development, coaching David Greene to become the winningest in SEC history with a 42-10 record over four seasons (2001-2004), while contributing to Georgia's first SEC championship since 1980 in 2002. Bobo's early emphasis on precise passing mechanics and decision-making laid the foundation for a balanced offensive attack that propelled the team to a 13-2 record in 2002, including a 26-13 victory over Florida State to cap a No. 3 national finish. Promoted to offensive coordinator and retained as quarterbacks coach in December 2006 ahead of the 2007 season, Bobo took over play-calling duties from Richt, implementing a pro-style scheme infused with spread elements to maximize quarterback mobility and downfield passing. His offenses consistently ranked in the top 20 nationally in total offense during his tenure, helping secure a second SEC championship in 2005 along with five SEC Eastern Division titles and eight bowl victories overall from 2001 to 2014. Under Bobo, Georgia posted standout seasons like 2007 (11-2 record, SEC East title, and 41-10 win over Hawaii) and 2011 (10-4 record with a 24-17 victory over ), where the Bulldogs averaged over 30 points per game.

Bobo's approach prioritized player preparation for professional careers, with multiple protégés advancing to the , though his conservative play-calling drew criticism during slower starts in games. Following an 8-5 season in 2014—the highest-scoring offense in school history at 41.3 —Bobo departed Georgia amid mounting fan pressure for more explosive schemes, accepting the head coaching position at Colorado State. Over his 14 years on staff, Bobo's contributions helped amass 135 victories, establishing Georgia as a perennial SEC contender with a disciplined, quarterback-centric offense.

Head coach at Colorado State (2015–2019)

Mike Bobo was hired as head coach of the on December 23, 2014, leaving his position as at Georgia to take over the program on a five-year contract that paid him $1.35 million in the first year, with annual $100,000 raises culminating at $1.75 million in 2019. His arrival brought a pro-style offensive identity shaped by his prior experience at Georgia, emphasizing quarterback development and balanced attacks. Over his five seasons, Bobo compiled an overall record of 28–35 (.444 winning percentage), guiding the to bowl games in each of his first three years while posting 7–6 marks in , , and . The 2017 season stood out for offensive prowess, as the ranked 12th nationally in total offense with 492.5 yards per game, a school record at the time. In the postseason, Colorado State appeared in the (2015, loss to Western Michigan), (2016, loss to ), and (2017, loss to Marshall), finishing with a 0–3 bowl record. Bobo's tenure featured notable improvements in recruiting, with his 2016 and 2017 classes ranked second in the Mountain West Conference by , drawing talent from 12 states including his native Georgia. He prioritized quarterback development, exemplified by Nick Stevens, who threw for 3,799 yards and 29 touchdowns in 2017 while leading the Mountain West in passing efficiency. The program faced challenges in later years, including back-to-back losing seasons of 3–9 in and 4–8 in 2019, amid struggles against conference rivals like and . These difficulties contributed to a mutual agreement to part ways on December 4, 2019, following a loss to Boise State that ended the regular season. Throughout his time at Colorado State, Bobo emphasized facilities upgrades and cultural shifts to elevate the program, highlighted by the opening of the $220 million in 2017, which included an 11,000-square-foot weight room, enhanced facilities, and multi-purpose spaces to foster team pride and retention. These investments aimed to build a more competitive environment, with Bobo noting the excitement they generated among players for long-term program growth.

Offensive coordinator at South Carolina (2020)

In December 2019, hired Mike Bobo as and quarterbacks coach for the on a two-year contract worth $1.2 million annually, following the program's offensive struggles that saw the team rank 114th nationally in total offense (322.8 yards per game) the previous season. Bobo, coming off a five-year stint as at Colorado State, was brought in to revitalize an attack hampered by inconsistent play and a lack of production under prior coordinators. The hiring was approved by the Board of Trustees on December 10, 2019, with Muschamp citing Bobo's extensive experience in the SEC from his time at Georgia as a key factor in addressing the Gamecocks' need for schematic stability. Bobo's tenure was immediately impacted by the , which led to the cancellation of all spring practices across the SEC, including South Carolina's scheduled sessions, forcing the staff to adapt through virtual meetings and limited offseason conditioning. The 2020 season was shortened to 10 games due to conference scheduling adjustments amid the , with the Gamecocks playing in a under Bobo that emphasized development and incorporated two-back sets with a fullback for added run support. The unit ranked 125th nationally in total offense at 300 yards per game, averaging 201.5 passing yards and 98.5 rushing yards per contest, reflecting a run-heavy approach that struggled against SEC defenses but aimed to protect young passers through play-action and pocket mobility drills. A core focus for Bobo was mentoring the quarterback room, including sophomore Ryan Hilinski, who had started four games in 2019, and transfer Collin Hill from Colorado State, whom Bobo had previously coached and named the starter for the opener. Hilinski saw limited action in two games, completing 4 of 6 passes for 34 yards, while Hill handled most duties before an injury shifted starts to freshman Luke Doty; Bobo stressed footwork fundamentals and decision-making in a scheme tailored to their athletic profiles rather than up-tempo no-huddle trends. The offense showed flashes of progress in protecting the passer but faltered in consistency, scoring 23.5 points per game overall. South Carolina started 2-5 under Muschamp, prompting his firing on November 15, 2020, after which Bobo served as interim head coach for the final three games, going 0-3 to finish the season 2-8 overall (2-8 in the SEC East). The staff change came amid ongoing offensive inefficiencies and defensive lapses, with Bobo later expressing disappointment in not meeting expectations during his brief interim role.

Offensive coordinator at Auburn (2021)

In January 2021, Auburn hired Mike Bobo as and quarterbacks coach, replacing who had been dismissed along with the previous staff following Gus Malzahn's firing in December 2020. Bobo, coming off a one-year stint as at , was tasked with implementing a pro-style scheme emphasizing a balanced attack, with Harsin retaining oversight on offensive philosophy. The hire aimed to leverage Bobo's SEC experience to stabilize the unit around returning quarterback and a strong running back corps. Under Bobo, Auburn's offense began the season explosively, scoring over 60 points in the first two games against Akron and Alabama State, but it struggled to maintain consistency, particularly in SEC play. The Tigers ranked 105th nationally in total offense with 329.7 yards per game and 81st in scoring at 25.5 points per game, reflecting a heavy reliance on the run game amid passing inefficiencies. Bobo emphasized a ground-oriented approach, led by Tank who rushed for 1,099 yards and 10 touchdowns on 223 carries, establishing key chunks in early matchups. However, the passing game faltered, with Nix completing 59.6% of his passes for 2,667 yards, 11 touchdowns, and 9 interceptions, as the unit ranked low in passing efficiency due to protection issues and limited downfield threats. Auburn finished the regular season 6-6, qualifying for the but ultimately losing 17-13 to for a 6-7 overall record. Bobo's tenure ended abruptly on November 29, 2021, when Harsin fired him following a 24-22 quadruple-overtime loss to , citing the offense's late-season fade amid broader staff instability. Harsin promoted quarterbacks coach Austin Davis to replace Bobo for the final regular-season game and bowl, but the himself was dismissed in October 2022 amid ongoing program turmoil, including multiple assistant departures and administrative conflicts.

Under Bobo's coordination, Georgia's offense evolved into a balanced attack emphasizing quarterback protection, run-pass options, and explosive plays, contributing to sustained success in the SEC and national contention. In , as an analyst, he supported the Bulldogs' undefeated 15-0 season and victory over TCU. The 2023 campaign saw Georgia finish 13-1, securing the SEC title before a dominant 63-3 win over Florida State, with Bobo now fully directing the offense that averaged over 40 points per game in key matchups. The 2024 season ended at 11-3, including an SEC Championship appearance, though the unit faced criticism for inconsistencies amid a demanding schedule. Bobo's play-calling highlighted quarterback Carson Beck's development, who in 2024 threw for 3,485 yards and 28 touchdowns while leading a pro-style passing game integrated with a strong rushing attack. He also guided backup , who earned SEC Offensive Player of the Week honors in 2025 after a standout performance against Ole Miss, completing 26 of 31 passes for 289 yards and four touchdowns. Both s received All-SEC recognition during Bobo's tenure, with Beck earning second-team honors in 2023 for his 3,941-yard, 24-touchdown sophomore season. Entering 2025, Bobo addressed ongoing recovery from —a nerve condition diagnosed during his Colorado State tenure—stating in August that he feels great and remains fully engaged despite past foot numbness. The offense showed early improvements, incorporating more screen passes and jet sweeps to boost yards after catch and counter defensive pressures, helping Georgia achieve a 7-1 record through November with Stockton at following Beck's transfer. Fan scrutiny over persisted amid 2024's uneven results, but Smart's public support and the contract extension underscored stability. In recruiting, Bobo played a key role in targeting elite quarterbacks, building a close relationship with five-star 2028 prospect Jayden Wade, the nation's top-rated signal-caller, who visited multiple times and listed Georgia among his finalists ahead of an November 2025 commitment announcement.
