UGA offensive coordinator Mike Bobo is becoming more popular on the coaching carousel and has emerged as a candidate for the head coaching job at Colorado State.

Dawgs247 has confirmed through sources that Rams officials have reached out to Bobo during their search to replace new Florida head coach Jim McElwain. There's no reason to think Bobo won't at least continue to entertain the Rams' overtures, though he is not believed to be the lone candidate at this point for the job.

The Coloradoan newspaper reported earlier Tuesday that "multiple people" have had discussions with CSU about the opening.

Bobo makes roughly $575,000, which rated 40th nationally according to a recent ranking of assistant coach salaries by USA Today.

McElwain was reportedly making $1.5 million a year when he left Colorado State to take over for Will Muschamp at Florida. Prior to his time at Colorado State, McElwain was the offensive coordinator for Nick Saban at Alabama.

Colorado State was 10-2 this past season and ranked 12th nationally in total offense at 497.8 yards per game.

Bobo, 40, has been on Georgia's staff since 2001 and has served as offensive coordinator since 2007. The Bulldogs set school records in yards per game during the 2012 and 2013 seasons, with Bobo being a finalist for the Broyles Award in 2012 and being named 247Sports' national offensive coordinator of the year in 2013.
