If not Kesling, then who?

[PeaceCorpsVol]

It's never easy to follow a legend and he was groomed to be the heir apparent since the get go with his time at JP sports. He was the most logical choice at the time and IMO he has done a good job. Strictly for the detractors, who would you have rather had at the time of replacing Ward? And who would you rather have now?

 

[YankeeVol]

Holly was "chosen" too

Hasn't really worked out for UT 'choosing' people

Mike Keith would be a good successor to Bob

Not a bad choice but he got a better gig at time so that was out

Another good successor to Bob would be Clemson play by play announcer Don Munson.

 

[joevol33]

I'll do it. Can you imagine my hillbilly Kentucky accent trying to say those names? I could put more fire in it though!

 

[Volsfaninva917]

Bob shows no passion, it sounds forced and not sincere.

Better gig? I think not.

 

[PeaceCorpsVol]

Better gig? I think not.

He knew Bob was getting the job, he jumped. He made the right decision and you would have done the same for your family. And honestly NFL play by play > college

 

[GetEmVols]

Mike Keith would replace Kesling in a heartbeat if asked.

Keith isn’t much better than Kesling. His voice at times grates my cheese.

I prefer Bob over Mike. Every Saturday and twice on Sunday.

I'd say either Freak or GaVol but both would probably get mad and cuss on the air.

Keith is probably better than Bob. But he has almost made me $ hat my pants and careen into a ditch with that screaming he does when he gets excited.

Had to laugh at that.

You have to admit tho "there are no flags on the field" still gives you goosebumps. It does me anyways.

His first broadcast will be the end of my radio listening. Man has a terrible, shrill voice

 

[Orange&White]

I think Bob is a fine announcer, but I also agree it seems like he just goes through the motion. You never sense any passion or emotion. Now that’s probably just because he’s trying to be clear on radio, but I’d like a guy who delivers that punch.

 

[Volfansince1980]

What a turn of events

Wake Forest Stan Cotton. UT Grad.

If I could pick anyone I would choose Wes Durham.

It'd only take one deep pass over a DB who didn't look back for the ball and I'd get the station's license pulled by the FCC.

Definitely one of the best. Georgia Tech really screwed up when they tried to force him to give up the Falcons job.
