Colorado State head coach will this week, inviting his father, George, to sit in on defensive meetings leading into Thursday’s date with Air Force’s option attack (1:30 p.m.; CBSSN).
“It was probably a week and a half ago, I was riding to work so I gave my dad a call and he was talking about the option and how different guys played the option, and I was saying, ‘yes sir,'” Bobo said at his Monday press conference. “Finally, I said, ‘Dad, you’re going to be out here Saturday to Saturday.’ I said, ‘how about coming over here when you get here, just show up, go in the defensive meeting room because I don’t want to hear after the fact, after the game, well, we should have done this to stop the fullback or done that to stop the Y toss.’
“Yeah, he’s giving us some insight this week.”
Not just random opinions, either. This will be working knowledge from a Thomasville-Thomas County Sports Hall of Fame coach who built his resume running the option until a slow-footed kid — his son — showed up to play quarterback.
George used to make visits to the Air Force Academy to learn from longtime Falcons coach Fisher DeBerry, and he coached Furman head coach Clay Hendrix in high school; Hendrix was the AFA line coach from 2007-16.
