ESPN's Mike Tirico Is Leaving For NBC
Troy Taormina-USA TODAY Sports
Apparently, ESPN analyst Mike Tirico, mostly known as one of the hosts of Monday Night Football, is leaving the network for NBC...

Per Sports Business Daily...
quote:

Mike Tirico, one of ESPN’s best known on-air voices, is leaving the network for NBC, according to several sources. Tirico has been a mainstay with ESPN since ’91, and given his many roles at ESPN, he will be an incredibly difficult talent to replace. Tirico has been ESPN’s on-air face of the NFL, serving as the lead play-by-play announcer for “MNF” since ’06. A source says that Sean McDonough, who recently renewed his deal with ESPN, is a leading candidate to replace Tirico on “MNF,” though no decision has been made yet. NBC would not comment on the move, with a spokesperson saying that the net does not comment on people under contract with another outlet.
Wonder how they'll use him. Sunday Night Football, I'm sure, but what else?

I hope he doesn't do any golf coverage at NBC. It's bad enough with Johnny Miller and Roger Maltby drooling over TW every chance they get there's no need to add another one in the mix.

Tirico saw the writing on the wall. ESPN wasn't going to renew his contract because they want to increase diversity and didn't have a need for a white play-caller anymore.
