DENNIS FRANCHIONE, SOON-TO-BE RADIO FLOOZY

by Orson on Aug 6, 2008 1:01 PM EDT

Dennis Franchione will be working as an analyst for ESPN Radio later this season, but is hoping to get something done with FSN soon, but that's only if he doesn't get a nibble from Sporting News Radio, and even that's contingent on what he hears from his agent regarding some feelers from XM/Sirius about his own show, you know. And there's always that spot in the cast of Mamma Mia! Oh, to dance for the people! Under the footlights!

I'm taking another job. Tell the guys for me, will ya?

Tide Druid assumes his booth at certain games should be a fully-enclosed Plexiglas bubble. Probably for the best, really, unless that other thing he's working on comes through before the fall.

It’s the Colin Cowherd and Coach Fran happy smiley funtime football hour!
On today’s show we’ll talk about -

What’s up with all those linemen? Why are they such Fatsos?
The best places in Tuscaloosa and College Station to Dine and Dash!
Kirk Herbstreit checks in to agree with everything we say!
And Coach Fran calls Colin gay for going to Spin class.

This is “The Herd” on ESPN radio

Guy with annoying voice, checkered past and no apparent football knowledge as color commentator.

Genius.

That never kept ESPN from hiring Lou Holtz. Well, he had some knowledge.

I wonder if Franny’s show/articles will be a premium pay service. Seemed to do well with it last year.

It looks like I get to be the first one to make a joke about Fran’s man-boobs.

Aw hell, I got nothing.

If he gets on Sporting News radio, that makes him a colleague, meaning you can invite him onto EDSBS live and let PB poke him with pointy sticks, right?

I wonder if he’ll “hold the rope” where ever he lands this time.

I put the over-under on the amount of time before he is shot with a hunting rifle from 200 yards away at 12 minutes.

If Bama fans get ahold of him, it’s going to look like Fallujah all over again.

I read a story on that this morning in which I somehow managed to read “Dave Barnett” as “Gary Barnett,” which nearly made me reroute my breakfast all over my keyboard. Just having Franchione in there is bad enough, but a Franchione/Gary Barnett combo in the booth would be the douchiest thing since sliced douche.

Doug, that does make things more interesting.

@#9: you know anyone we can pay to insure this happens?

Against my rules, I’m posting my website here. Dennis is welcomed as a senior mold remediator.

$15 an hour. Documentation required. Have to pay for his certification caleess postscript.

I’m glad you guys think you know everything about football and the reason why he made the choices he has. I’m glad you all are soo perfect and wonderful…why haven’t I heard about any of you? I heard he’s the sixth winningest coach of all time. What are you? Little piss ons that have nothing better to do with your meaningless lives except pick on a great man and a great football coach.
