Mike Golic has a Mike Tomlin answer for whether there will be a ‘Mike & Mike’ reunion someday

Never say never??

As quickly as Mike Golic opened the door for a Mike & Mike reunion someday down the road with his old radio partner Mike Greenberg, he shut it.

While appearing on Dan Patrick’s show on Monday, Golic was asked what his answer usually is when he’s asked about getting back together with Greenberg.

His reply: “I guess the best answer would be: This is a crazy business where paths cross and re-cross all the time, so you never can say never.”

Hmm. That’s not a full-on NO!

But then he went and rained on parades by paraphrasing Mike Tomlin, who shut down USC coaching rumors earlier this year by saying, “Never say never, but NEVER!” Golic’s version was, “It’s never gonna happen.”

OK then!

Mike Golic back to college football role at ESPN

Mike Golic’s incredible run doing mornings on ESPN radio may be ending but his career in broadcasting isn’t over by any stretch…

Mike Golic is wrapping up an incredible run as the host of ESPN’s national radio show, a role he has held since January of 2000 when he and Mike Greenberg began hosting “Mike and Mike”, a run that would last over 17 years together.

Golic continued to host the morning show with Trey Wingo after Greenberg left to focus on the TV side but earlier this month it was determined Golic would no longer be a part of ESPN Radio’s plans.

Now he’s onto his next role, that being his original job at the “Worldwide Leader in Sports”, news that Adam Schefter broke on Monday.

I was never a big “Mike and Mike” fan but their success together speaks for itself.  Working in radio since 2005 I have nothing but admiration for anyone who can hold onto a morning drive hosting spot for over twenty years.

The college football world gets to hear Golic now analyzing their game on the regular, something he starred at decades ago.

The former Notre Dame captain played eight years in the NFL for the Oilers, Eagles and Dolphins.  His media career began while playing for the Eagles as he’d have a weekly segment on quarterback Randall Cunningham’s television show.

The rest as they say, is history.

Mike Golic’s wife claims he offered to do a ‘Mike and Mike’ reunion show

Fans would have loved this.

Of the many reactions to Mike Golic no longer having a show on ESPN Radio after over two decades on the air with the Worldwide Leader (he’s still reportedly under contract with ESPN), there were many who called for Golic to be reunited with Mike Greenberg to bring back the legendary Mike & Mike.

According to Golic’s wife Christine, that was proposed by her husband.

A fan on Twitter replied to her tweet congratulating her son Mike Golic Jr. on his new show with Chiney Ogwumike, saying that Greenberg — who has a new show of his own in the revamped lineup — could use a cohost: “You know anyone?”

Here’s what Christine Golic said:

When Outkick the Coverage asked ESPN about the tweets, “a spokesperson declined to comment.”

It would have been amazing for fans to have the two Mikes back together again, but with Greenberg hosting Get Up! and now his own radio show, it seems like that ship has sailed.
