If not Kesling, then who?

[Other_Guy]

Morgan Freeman ... it wouldn’t be very exciting but you wouldn’t be able to stop listening .

... plus everybody in the country would be listening to Tennessee football every Saturday .

Haha

 

[Boca Vol]

Mike Keith would be a good successor to Bob

No thanks! Too much screaming into the mic.

 

[Boca Vol]

Get Frank Caliendo. For the price of 1 you get a booth-full of people...Pat Summerall, John Madden, Jon Gruden, Mike Ditka, etc.

 

[give_him 6]

For the past decade plus of UT football, Harry Doyle would have been appropriate.

 

[Fatpap67]

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

Is he related to Larry Munson?

 

[CA_Vol]

Jerry from Bull Gap

 

[Tennesseefan2019]

Is he related to Larry Munson?

Nope,I looked at Larry Munson's obituary and Don Munson wasn't listed as one of his sons

Mike Keith would be a good successor to Bob

He's a screamer. I'd take Blob any day and x2 on Saturday.

 

[livefaith]

Jerry from Bull Gap

Gaaaaah. It's been obvious the entire time. Never saw it!

 

[livefaith]

Enough with the Kessling threads already. Geez.

Welcome.

 

[RollerVol]

wonder if Burke would do it?

 

[The Crimson Cried]

Someone held a gun to your head and made you read it?

No, it was in the sequence of my thread feeds. The first thing I read in it was your well thought out and original response which improved my day and encouraged me to think more critically about my life choices.

Another good play by play announcer is Paul Rogers of Louisville

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?

Anyone!! I’m sorry Bob does fine on Basketball but is just not good at calling football!!!

LOL!!!

 

[PandamoniumReigns]

One thing is certain..
Its no secret I cant stand Bob. He's terrible at his job. I'll admit following John Ward is a tall task for anyone. But following Bumbling Bob should be fairly easy.

 

[MyBloodRunnethOrange]

Beth Mowins or Pam Ward. Both are real pros and would truly groundbreaking for college football (Team rather than network) and basketball.

You forgot the blue font

 

[MyBloodRunnethOrange]

There is some guy on the radio with kessling with a thick country accent and calls plays stupid sometimes. That guy should be the main guy

That would be former Tennessee DB Tim Priest, the all time leader in interceptions

 

[MyBloodRunnethOrange]

Question:
How many of the people complaining about Bob actually listen to him? I work most Saturdays and have to listen to him at my desk. He's not great by any stretch, but he's not as bad as people make him out to be either.

 

[Pepe]

Mike Keith would replace Kesling in a heartbeat if asked.

Just write into his contract to leave his cousin at home.

 

[utvols74]

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.

Thanks for the laugh. You and me both brother.

Mike Keith...he probably should've gotten the job ahead of 'Ol Bob anyway.

 

[landscapingvol]

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

Why are you bad at opinions?

I have listened before, but its extremely rare anymore. Id rather follow on Gamecast.

The guy has one job....paint an accurate picture of the game for those listening. He fails

That requires:
Knowing the players names
Knowing the actual play
Announcing the time remaining
Knowing the difference between 2 yards and 9 yards.
I could go on...

Neil Price should get a shot. He is at Mississippi St., but was born and raised in East Tennessee. His blood still runs orange even though he has to listen to those horrible cowbells.
