Good article.

I loved Corso and his schtick, but at 88 he needs to retire. I had hoped that Mike Leach could have taken Corso's spot. He would have been excellent in that spot.

Agreed. He can't keep up, and that is 1000% fine and understandable at that age. He isn't the reason I rarely watch anymore, but when I do it's difficult. Kirk carries him and if the viewers can see it, you know it's at a tipping point.

Leach would've been incredibly entertaining, but I can only imagine him with the producers. He never would've hit a commercial break.

Coach Leach was the "color analyst" for lack of better words on a satellite radio college football call in show when he was not coaching right after the Texas Tech debacle. Marilyn and I used to listen to it on the way home from Alabama on Saturdays after the BAMA games. It was awesome!
