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.

I really like that hiring,

I like this Hire as well.

Yeah, I think this is a good choice.

Never had any use for Kornheiser on MNF... in fact, the whole MNF crew is terrible.

But at least Gruden knows a little bit about football, and he'll be a good communicator.

Man, am I glad. Tony Kornheiser is a freaking clown, he has no place in the broadcasting booth,

So F*cking MAD right now and will not watch MNF at all this year

Is that because you liked Kornheiser or is it because you don't like Gruden?

don't be ridiculous Solomon...

How do you expect me to act? They get rid of my favorite person suddenly after 3 years and replace him with a IDIOT? So if Gruden was still a headcoach Tony would still be there? Makes no sense

I'm pretty sure that Gruden has forgotten more about football than Kornheiser will ever know.
