Has Streif's replacement been announced yet?
If not, who are legitimate candidates

Whoa, I totally missed the news that he joined the coaching staff. Good for him. Hope they get a replacement that has a bit more experience than he did.

What's crazy is that there was a time in my life, pre-cable & pre-internet/streaming, I never would have imagined I could live without Saints radio broadcasts/talk radio.

Yet outside of catching a handful of 5 minute possessions while driving late to my bro-in-laws to watch the game with him, I haven't listened to WWL sports (game or post-game) in well over a decade.

I now mainly want a good PbP announcer for when national highlights are dubbed over with the radio broadcast soundbites. It's kind of sad.

Almost anyone would be better. I do better just shouting at my tv.

Wasn’t Joel Myers a finalists for the job last time around? It should’ve been his job in the first place

Joel Myers is the obvious pick. Hopefully the Saints see it this way also.

That’s not true. Zach sucked plain and simple.
Giving that cherry of a job to someone with ZERO radio experience was about as stupid a move as an org can make. Hire a damn professional broadcaster and it’ll be fine.

Grafagninni already works for the organization. Would be a simple transition.

I would think Graff is a front runner. He’s awesome

Strief's play by play wasn't great but I enjoyed he and Duce. Their back and forth and insight was good.

Graf is the choice assuming he can keep his fandom somewhat in check.

That’s the only thing I like about Graff.

Homer is ok for that position. Unfortunately, he’s poor at every other aspect of the job IMO.

Hope Joel gets it. He deserves better than having to watch the Pelicans every night.
