Louis Riddick
Again, this would necessitate ESPN shifting Riddick from an in-studio personality to an in-game personality. That should come with a hefty raise for Riddick who has been great on almost all forms of content for ESPN. He really understands the game from a player and a front office perspective.
The only problem with Riddick may be that he seems to keep on coming up in rumors for front-office positions. ESPN may not want to throw him in the booth because it will give him more exposure to owners. Before you say that owners don’t sign people who work in TV, it’s happened before and it will happen again. These guys aren’t just television personalities, they are football people through and through and Riddick would most likely impress on game days. That could make him an even more hot commodity. ESPN may not like the idea of that turnover.
