The last two seasons have seen Notre Dame home football games on NBC announced by play-by-play voice Jac Collinsworth.
Collinsworth is a Notre Dame graduate and was an up-and-comer when named to succeed Mike Tirico, who left the booth to take over NBC’s Sunday Night Football call when legendary Al Michaels left for Amazon
According to Dan Marchand of The Athletic, Collinsworth is out for this fall and replacing him will be longtime NBC Sports voice Dan Hicks, who happens to be married to Notre Dame graduate and veteran sports reporter/anchor Hannah Storm.
According to the report Jason Garrett will remain as the color commentator for Notre Dame on NBC.
No offense to Collinsworth but going from Tirico to him felt like getting spit in the face. Collinsworth didn’t scream “big time” in any capacity, something that is done by more flight miles and experience – not by having a known last name.
