It is not everything, but it is certainly something. Heading into the College Football Playoff, the Georgia Bulldogs are one of five teams whose star coordinators are up for the highest honor in their field. The Broyles Award goes to the best assistant head coach in the nation. Not only is Georgia offensive coordinator Mike Bobo one of the five finalists, but he is the only offensive guy in the mix.
As of Tuesday afternoon's announcement, here are the five assistants who are up for the Broyles.
- Georgia Bulldogs offensive coordinator Mike Bobo
- Indiana Hoosiers defensive coordinator Bryant Haines
- Miami Hurricanes defensive coordinator Corey Hetherman
- Ohio State Buckeyes defensive coordinator Matt Patricia
- Texas Tech Red Raiders defensive coordinator Shiel Wood
While all five are certainly deserving of this recognition, it just might be Bobo's time to shine this year.
