Congratulations. It was about time though.

Needed to ride off into the sunset after the stroke to be honest. Good for him though! His headgear picks were often why so many tuned in to College Gameday.

Probably should've retired around 2008 when he had his stroke. He was never the same after that...

Congrats to him. Heck of a career, but it has been well past due for him to call it a career

Curious...you guys think Lee was worse off than Pat when he retired.

NOT SO FAST MY FRIEND... We will see him again...

Best wishes to Coach Corso! He was not as strong after his stroke but he was always good for a laugh and the highlight of the show was the headgear pick.

I'm not really a Gameday watcher anymore... I'd sometimes see the last segment though or last year check the DVR for a good Saban segment. But, I've always enjoyed Corso. I think many fans took him way too seriously years ago and developed a bias against him, but he settled into his role when leaned heavily into being an entertainer and I thought did it well. He obviously loves college football, so much so apparently, that it wasn't easy for him to walk away. And you can see how much people like Herbstreit love him, as a person, which says a lot about anyone in the media these days. So I for one will miss him, even though his health has really hindered his role the last few years. I'm glad he's getting to go out on his own terms, as much as possible I guess, with one last show. Hopefully, ESPN doesn't even try to continue the mascot head pick (or anything similar to it) after he's gone... let it retire with him. And hopefully, Corso's health will allow him to enjoy several more years of football from home.

I always felt that Mike Leach would have been a good replacement for him.
