Former UGA tight end could see a new head coach by 2018
Entering Week 10 with a 4-4 record is not how many people expected the Kirby Smart era to begin at Georgia. Following UGA’s 24-10 loss to Florida, former Bulldogs tight end Arthur Lynch didn’t sugarcoat his thoughts on Smart’s long-term status, stating he wouldn’t be surprised to see a new coach in Athens by 2018.
The Dawgs just aren't very good. Lack depth and consistency on offense. Bright spot is the defense. Pressure is officially on smart.

If he has another year like this one I won't be surprised to see Coach Mike Bobo return home as HC in 2018.

To be clear: I am still 100 percent for the Dawgs. I'm just venting and coming to grips with the unfortunate reality.

Despite retweeting a user who was self-described “Team Bobo from the star,” Lynch said he’s pulling for Smart to figure things out and get on track.
Worth noting: i am a fan of Kirby and believe he will succeed. I was clearly just stating my opinion after yesterday's loss.

Lynch played for Smart’s predecessor, Mark Richt, from 2009-13. Mike Bobo, now Colorado State’s head coach, was the offensive coordinator during that time.
