The news keeps coming on Thursday as Bryan Harsin’s coaching staff at Auburn is taking shape.
Per Auburn Undercover, the new Tigers coach is expected to hire Mike Bobo away from South Carolina to serve as offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach on his staff.
From the report:
South Carolina’s Mike Bobo agreed Thursday to become the Tigers’ new offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach, sources close to the situation tell Auburn Undercover. An official announcement is expected from the school later today.
The former Georgia quarterback previously was the offensive coordinator at South Carolina in 2020 under Will Muschamp. The Gamecocks finished 96th in the FBS this season in total offense, putting up just 355.1 yards per game.
Prior to that, Bobo was the head coach at Colorado State from 2015-19 after a successful stint as offensive coordinator at his alma mater from 2007-14.
A good recruiter who has deep ties in the state of Georgia, he will reportedly be the second SEC coach alongside Derek Mason to be on Harsin’s staff at Auburn.
