Gruden to replace Kornheiser on MNF

BRISTOL, CONN. (AP) —Former Tampa Bay coach Jon Gruden is replacing Tony Kornheiser on ESPN’s Monday Night Football broadcast team.

The network said Monday that Gruden will be in the booth with Mike Tirico and Ron Jaworski when the show starts its 40th season this fall.

Kornheiser cited a fear of flying in his decision to leave after three years.

Gruden led the Bucs to the 2003 Super Bowl title and was fired after this past season. He worked as a guest analyst this year with the NFL Network during the draft and scouting combine.

He will debut with ESPN with a preseason game Aug. 13, a Super Bowl rematch between the Arizona Cardinals and Pittsburgh Steelers.

Yes thank the lord, he Tony should've stayed with PTI because that is really all he was good at. He tried too hard to be funny and it didn't work out. The writer in the booth thing can work with the right writer, Tony wasn't the right guy. Hopefully Jon Grudon will be better

I like the move. Though I still miss the old Joe Theismann crew from ESPN.
