10 potential replacements for Jon Gruden on Monday Night Football
6. Brian Baldinger
The Fox Sports and NFL Network analyst breaks down the game as well as anyone I’ve ever seen. Playing 11 seasons in the NFL for Philadelphia, Dallas, and Indianapolis Baldinger was a consistent piece on many offensive lines. He’s moved into the radio and television booth for multiple networks doing both college and professional football, and also does weekly radio shows in Philadelphia.
“Baldy” has also stepped up his social media game by breaking down plays on Twitter for the everyday fan. This is exactly what people want and the season Tony Romo has had with CBS shows that the behind the scences/in-depth view of football is greatly appreciated.
ESPN would obviously have to get Baldinger out of his NFL and Fox contracts, but if they can he’d be just as popular as Gruden on Monday Nights.
