At this time last year, Mike Bobo was leading the Rams for the first time. After spending nearly two decades as a player and a coach for the University of Georgia, he took his family out west to the land of the majestic Rocky Mountains.
As a first-year head coach, Bobo was not inheriting a program in ruins. Quite the opposite, in fact, as Colorado State football was coming off of their first 10-win season in over a decade. One of the perks of taking over a successful program is that generally the team is already filled with experienced, talented players.
