‘Need Al Michaels Out Too,’ ‘Don’t See TNF Moving Off Kirk (Herbstreit)’ — NFL Fans Get Vocal as Analyst Proposes Future Destination for Greg Olsen
Greg Olsen could be one of the biggest names on the NFL broadcasting carousel this offseason, with his future at FOX still up in the air. Although initial reports suggested no extension negotiations had taken place, FOX management later confirmed preliminary discussions with his representative, while president Brad Zager expressed a desire to retain him.
Fans are expressing their opinions as an analyst proposes Greg Olsen's future destination in NFL broadcasting. Olsen is a sought-after name on the broadcasting carousel this offseason, with his future at FOX uncertain. FOX has held preliminary discussions with Olsen's representative, while President Brad Zager expressed a desire to retain him.
Olsen has earned praise and recognition as FOX's lead analyst during Super Bowl LVII. However, his departure from the top booth due to Tom Brady's arrival has sparked speculation about his next move. Media analyst Brett Kollmann believes Amazon Prime Video's Thursday Night Football could be a good fit for Olsen due to his analytical approach.
One fan agreed with the idea but called for Al Michaels to be replaced as well. Another fan believes Olsen should aim higher than Thursday Night Football and mentioned the possibility of him joining Monday Night Football. The network's current lineup of Kirk Herbstreit and Michaels has also been criticized. CBS, which held exploratory talks with Olsen two years ago, could be another possible destination, especially if it wants to make changes to its broadcast team.
For now, Olsen's next destination remains uncertain. He could potentially work in a top booth alongside Jim Nantz at CBS or Sunday Night Football could be another opportunity with its focus on analytics.
