Dan Orlovsky

I will continue to beat this drum as long as I have to until Orlovsky is recognized and his star rises to the level of ESPN color commentator.

Orlovsky kind of got his start breaking down plays on Twitter for NFL fans who really wanted to dive into the game at a higher level. He transitioned that into a job at ESPN. He’s already at the network. He knows what he’s doing and what he’s looking at. He breaks down plays on Twitter and television. Get Orlovsky in the booth.

The only problem here would be that there were reportedly some teams interested in getting Orlovsky on their coaching staff. If he wants to coach, he isn’t an option for ESPN for the same reasons Riddick isn’t an option. ESPN can’t have the turnover.
