Tony Kornheiser leaves ESPN's 'Monday Night Football' booth, will be replaced by Jon Gruden
After three seasons in ESPN's "Monday Night Football" booth, Tony Kornheiser is out.
He will be replaced by Jon Gruden.
In a statement, ESPN said Kornheiser had "decided to step down." Still, during last season there were rumblings throughout the television industry that ESPN brass was looking to replace Kornheiser, who teamed with Mike Tirico and Ron Jaworski.
"Jon is one of the best football minds in the game," said Norby Williamson, an ESPN executive VP. "(We) will create a must-watch Monday Night Football booth."
Gruden spent 11 seasone as an NFL coach with Tampa and Oakland.
He's always an easy target, but it's time to lay off SVG
Look, I love ripping on SVG as much as the next guy. But as the Magic screwed up some games they should have won against Boston, it seemed like the whole world had a field day at SVG’s expense. Shaq started it, and the mainstream sports press was only too happy to pile on.
Tony Kornheiser, a great writer who can’t be bothered to actually watch a regular-season Magic game, said the Magic players hate Van Gundy.
Jim Rome uses any Magic mess-up as corroborating evidence that what Shaq says is true, Van Gundy is the master of panic.
Here’s my beef with these industry giants, who BTW, I am huge fans of: They feast on the superficial while ignoring the substance of what is good and bad about this team.
My best guess as to why they so eagerly dismiss SVG as a coach is simple: He’s (by NBA standards) a slob.
KORNHEISER OUT, GRUDEN IN AT "MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL"
ESPN announced Monday morning that Tony Kornheiser will be stepping down after three years in the “Monday Night Football” booth, and will be replaced by former Tampa Bay and Oakland coach Jon Gruden. “I would like to thank Tony Kornheiser for his many contributions to Monday Night Football the past three years,” said John Skipper, ESPN executive vice president, content. “He has been a big reason for the show’s success on ESPN. Pardon the Interruption is one of ESPN’s most important franchises and fans will continue to see Tony on the show and involved in other future ESPN projects for many years to come.”...
