Report: Dave Pasch Emerges as Frontrunner for ESPN’s No. 2 NFL Booth
Assignments and booth size remain unannounced.
Overview
- Andrew Marchand said on his podcast that Dave Pasch leads for play-by-play while Steve Levy has an outside chance, with Mike Monaco and Bob Wischusen also in contention.
- Jason Kelce and Kurt Warner have been floated as options for the analyst role, according to the same reporting.
- ESPN is expected to rework its secondary Monday Night Football crew as it expands its NFL footprint after taking control of NFL Network.
- Outlets note that ESPN has made no official hires and that the network has not decided between a two- or three-person booth.
- Levy previously lost the top job to Joe Buck and Troy Aikman and was later replaced by Chris Fowler on the No. 2 crew, a shift Marchand says some inside ESPN viewed as unfair.
