I'm surprised Bobo got hired back on the SEC.
Was he not an OC under Richt and it was similar to that proish style of Enos/Richt?
I havent watched Colorado States offense so om. Not sure if hes changed his style but, mixing that with Bo Nix, yikes.

So Auburn bringing in Dee Davis from Texas now and likely to get Stockton for 2022. Looks like Bo Nix will either have to work his butt off to keep his job or he may end up in the portal, too.....

I watched a couple of usc games and their offense was horrific. Especially against Florida

I think there's some family connection to Bobo , too. Can't remember what it is exactly.

EDIT: FOUND THE STORY The relationship is with Bobo and Connor Shaw...

When Gunner Stockton was nine-years old he received a photo that currently hangs on his bedroom wall from now South Carolina offensive coordinator Mike Bobo, who in the autographed picture is wearing his Georgia football uniform, signed “I hope I get to coach you one day.”

Next to the Tiger (Ga.) Raburn County standout’s picture of Bobo on the wall is an autographed photo of Connor Shaw, the winningest-quarterback in South Carolina history, who now happens to be on staff in Columbia as the Director of Football Student-Athlete Development. That one reads “thanks for always supporting me.” Stockton wears No. 14 just like Shaw and down the road hopes to have at the very least the same amount of success donning that number in the SEC.

So with that, there is no surprise that Stockton is commit No. 1 for Will Muschamp and the Gamecocks in the 2022 class as the 247Sports Composite five-star recruit and No. 1 ranked dual-threat passer chose to play for South Carolina over Georgia and a slew of other offers.

There are obviously plenty of ties to the Bobo and Shaw family that helped the Gamecocks secure this huge pledge. Bobo’s father George, a Hall of Fame High School coach in the state Georgia, was first to tell Stockton’s father Rob when Gunner was seven-years old that the young boy was going to be quarterback. Shaw’s father Lee is also a legendary high school coach in the Peach State who coached the elder Stockton in high school, and the younger Stockton for his first season, before handing the keys over to his other son Jaybo.

“After Gunner’s first varsity game which was a scrimmage game, Coach Shaw sent me a text and I still have the text that said ‘your son will be the best quarterback I ever coached.’ That coming from a dad who had sons Connor and Jaybo hit me like a ton of bricks and was an unbelievable compliment. I realized there was something special here.”

The year before he left to go to Colorado state....his O set a school scoring record....I think about 40 points a game...he spread the ball around unlike his boss...Richt had no part of that, even admitted he did not know the calls...Bobo played with both Muschamp and Smart and are all best friends....Bobo is very well respected in the SEC and like Smart a great recruiter in the south...Bobo has never coached a dual like Gunner who is a hoss and runs just like Zonk of the Dolphins..most on this board were probably not born then...
