He was never going to be a long-term success in broadcasting, he doesn't have the voice for it, although he did get much better technically over time. If he wants to get into coaching, I think he does have the chance to be very successful, much more so than in the broadcasting booth.

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.

I thought Strief did great.

Yea count me in on he was great in the booth.

Todd Graffagnini you're up!!

 

[RaginSaint93]

I mean I get your point that he was following a legend, but I thought he was great - and he was getting more and more popular and well-received with every game. This is NOT an indication that WWL wanted him out. He took advantage of a great opportunity. He has the potential to be an excellent coach.

 

[Zack Lee]

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.

i would ask in what way. Deuce seems extremely chill. I would work with him any day of the week.

I doubt Drew will go into coaching. He can make as much if not more calling Notre Dame games on Saturdays and be an in studio analyst for the Sunday Night NFL games with half the time away from the family.

Time for the Graff to get in there.

The fish has been returned to water!

I was highly critical of the decision to put Zach in that spot. That said, he improved greatly, but had no where to go but up. It was rough at first. It would have been OK had he stayed in his position, but should we settle on OK or strive for excellence? The best coaches put players in a position where they have the best chance to succeed. For Zach, thats in the locker room. He's where he belongs.

Now let's get this announcer hire right this time.

Drew needs to retire, stay in NOLA in until the next time Bill Cassidy runs for re-election and take his seat. Senator Brees sounds pretty good to me.

One state under Jimmy John’s.

Hell, let me take a wack at play by play.

Nah. I'm sure they'll hire someone who will be great.

 

[Optimistic Ozzy]

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.

I just wonder who all is

Todd Graffagnini you're up!!

I think Graf is the odds on favorite.

I have been to Jimmy John's 3 times here in Monroe. Twice they got my order wrong and the third it just wasn't good due to stale bread. I won't be back.
