I like this

I think he will be better suited for coaching than broadcasting Saint's games. It's hell to follow a legend. No matter who was going to replace Jim Henderson, he would be compared. And though Strief did well, he was by no means Jim Henderson. Jim Henderson's tone, cadence, style, delivery, original quotes......will never be repeated. It will take someone who has another original style, tone, cadence, delivery........

Strief never had a chance.

Even working in the media and covering training camp, he would give advice and teach young players the game. He was always helpful when he didn't need to be. Also thought he should of gone into coaching. Great addition.

Were you really giving him one? Strief was doing fine in the booth, but this has nothing to do with him not wanting to live up to the local play by play standards—-this is a bigger opportunity for him

All we now is Drew to have a change of heart and take over as QB coach instead of taking that comfy commentator job.

No way. SP would find Drew trying to dress up at halftime if we are down.

I think that Zack did a good job. One local sports guy here in Lafayette said that Deuce was hard to work with. I don't believe that because they made a good team.

Drew Brees is "skip the line" status.

If he ever got into coaching I assure you it would be straight into Offensive Coordinator or Head Coach

 

[Optimistic Ozzy]

I thought Zach did a great job! He’s a great guy! Henderson comes back ?

 

[El Caliente]

This is awesome. Do what you love and you will never work a day in your life.

Joel Meyers, please take the mic.

 

[AARPSaint]

I'll miss the banter between him and Deuce, but this is a good move for Zach.

 

[Jeff]

Admittedly, I took a bit to come around, but I thought Zach acquitted himself well as the play-by-play guy. I wish him well. I'd love to see Joel Meyers as well but it'd be a tough loss for the Pels.

 

[mambodeath]

I will miss Zach in the booth.

 

[NeverGiveUP2]

I think before Drew became a coach he would give coming back at QB a try first... I think his wanting to be with his wife and kids is keeping him from doing either.... Coaches basically give up any real life to be successful. Drew is going to be a commentator next year

 

[BELOWSEALEVEL]

I'm completely fine with this.
A trench guy knows what's going on.
You're not a dummy going to Northwestern either.
