Gruden to replace Kornheiser on MNF

BRISTOL, Conn. (AP) - Former Tampa Bay coach Jon Gruden is replacing Tony Kornheiser on ESPN's Monday Night Football broadcast team.



The network said Monday that Gruden will be in the booth with Mike Tirico and Ron Jaworski when the show starts its 40th season this fall.

Kornheiser cited a fear of flying in his decision to leave after three years.
Gruden led the Bucs to the 2003 Super Bowl title and was fired after this past season. He worked as a guest analyst this year with the NFL Network during the draft and scouting combine.
He will debut with ESPN with a preseason game Aug. 13, a Super Bowl rematch between the Arizona Cardinals and Pittsburgh Steelers.

About time they got rid of dude, hes cool on PTI but should never be allowed to be comentator again. Gruden will bring that Jeff Van Gundy entertainment to the booth...

Jaws should be replaced too...he's got alot of QB knowledge but hes hella boring in the booth.

My boy lives in New York City, worked for CBS sports and HBO. His ex boss is a bigwig at ESPN now.

Let's just say that Kornheiser's "fear of flying" excuse isn't the real reason he's gone.
