Notre Dame fans will almost unanimously be thrilled with the news out on Tuesday that Doug Flutie will no longer call Notre Dame football games this fall on NBC.
If that’s not good enough on it’s own, Flutie, who to put it nicely, never left an impact in the booth, will be replaced by Pro Football Hall of Fame coach and former Super Bowl champion, Tony Dungy.
Dungy has worked on NBC’s studio crew for Sunday Night Football for years and now gets a chance to take his talents to game action on a weekly basis this fall.
As for play-by-play, Mike Tirico stays on that duty while sideline reporter Kathryn Tappen is back for another year.
Notre Dame alum Jac Collinsworth will host the NBC Sports pre-game, halftime and post-game shows and for select games will be joined by Flutie.
Notre Dame plays six home games in 2020, five of which will be broadcast on NBC. The September 19 game against South Florida will air on USA.
This marks the 30th consecutive year of Notre Dame home football games airing on NBC.
