Tyler Watts has been around CTSN for awhile. I bet he gets it unless Byrne or Saban has someone else in mind. I think Saban's guidance was how we ended up with Phil Savage a decade ago.If Joe Namath takes it I'll eat an Auburn hat (cake - or part of it at least). He's happy right where he is.
I haven't heard Jones in some time. It's possible he has "grown" and honed his skills, but I wouldn't know it.
Also haven't heard Johnson or Krauss that I've known it.
Tyler Watts might be the safe or logical choice.
Reese Davis would be an interesting choice but I doubt he would take it if offered. He has a sweet gig.

Reese Davis? Seriously? Why would he got from hosting College Game Day with ESPN to, by comparison, small town radio?If Joe Namath takes it I'll eat an Auburn hat (cake - or part of it at least). He's happy right where he is.

Gotta agree! Roger is both entertaining and knowledgeable...Roger would be Kenny 2.0, and being honest, would probably be more entertaining even than Mr. Stabler. The question is if that's what CTSN listeners want? I am not really sure it is.

Nooooooooo!!!!!It won't happen because he's an Aub, but I wouldn't mind Cole Cubelic getting the job; his analysis is always first rate.
Exactly!!!I just can't see having a former Auburn player on the Bama radio broadcast. He might be good at what he does, he might be objective, but at the end of the day, he's still a Barner and I think it could show up in the ratings.
I really like Phil Savage and enjoyed reading his latest book. I wish him well. I just wonder if maybe he made someone mad somewhere along the line and that's why this is happening? I sure hope not. It will be interesting to see who replaces him.Things that make you go, "Hmmmm…"
Leaves the Senior Bowl in his hometown after several years in the chair, in a "mutual parting of the ways."
Leaves one of the best color announcing jobs in the country, and in the process leaves Saban, who he's known since he was an analyst for the Browns while Saban was there.
Packs up to move to Phoenix for a minor league job.
That's a lot of major life change in a short period of time. Hope everything's OK.
Just an observation. But there's at least been a rational discussion here about they hypothetical possibility of hiring a booger-eater to be the voice of Alabama footballA barner as Bama's color commentator?!

How not to do a radio broadcast.
I could only make it ~4 minutes in! - Honestly, I'd never listen to another Alabama radio broadcast if our announcers were so blatantly unfair and blatantly biased in EVERYTHING they said. According to Stan, the boogs have never lost a game - the ref's have just stolen some of their wins from them.How not to do a radio broadcast.
Maybe Eli got upset because Phil called the touchdown before he did(blue font).I really like Phil Savage and enjoyed reading his latest book. I wish him well. I just wonder if maybe he made someone mad somewhere along the line and that's why this is happening? I sure hope not. It will be interesting to see who replaces him.
I didn't make it thru to the end. That was awful.How not to do a radio broadcast.
