Joe Theismann Out, Ron Jaworski In?

Theismann out has been confirmed by just about every majors news source, but was broken by PFT. Per PFT, Jaworski is the "likely" replacement.

This is great news. The next thing that needs to be done is to replace Kornheiser. Suggestions? Vermeil, Faulk, and Deion Sanders would work.

No way Vermeil is happening... Jaws + Vermeil would be too good, they'd never do that.

from watching "Americas Game: The Superbowl" I saw/heard a bunch of ex players and coaches who were interesting to talk to and provided a cool perspective. Granted, live TV is different, but there are a lot of lesser known choices out there I think.

I love the analysis that Jaws spews, but find him to be among the more annoying personalities in the world. I suppose it's a worthy trade-off and an infinite upgrade over Theismann.

Per a source with knowledge of the in-house dynamics at ESPN, Theismann and Tony Kornheiser didn't mix well, and there's a school of thought that Kornheiser would be better without having to worry about tiptoeing on eggshells with Theismann.

That PFT quote makes a Kornheiser exit seem unlikely.

Tirico, Kornheiser, and Jaws is a good combo.

Wow, I'll take this as an amazing birthday present if it's true. Theismann is the worst.

I just read the title and I'm very excited.

I will miss the awkwardness between Kornheiser and Theismann - Theismann was clearly a guy who couldn't take a joke, and Kornheiser went overboard with the 'you're a dumb jock' stuff.

But I won't miss Theismann's idiotic commentary.

I don't have a problem and am not suprised about them giving Kornheiser another shot. The difference between him on PTI and MNF was incredible. They have to figure he'll improve significantly once he gains more experience with the role, especially now that he'll be doing it with Jaws, someone who it seems he gets along with really well. I'm really excited about this.

Jaws is the best football analyst I've ever heard, so this is welcome news. I think they could ditch Kornheiser and just go with a 2-man booth and it would be pretty great.
