Kirk Herbstreit, ESPN's lead college football color commentator, enjoys his multifaceted role, which includes hosting College GameDay and appearing on the SEC Network. He particularly appreciates the camaraderie and chemistry with Nick Saban and the rest of the College GameDay crew.
ESPN 's Kirk Herbstreit has been a consistent presence in the network's college football coverage for nearly three decades. Herbstreit, widely recognized as ESPN 's premier voice for college football , has multiple roles. He serves as ESPN 's lead college football color commentator, continues to host the College GameDay program, and is also a prominent analyst on the SEC Network.
\Herbstreit recently shared his enjoyment of this multifaceted role, stating, 'When I took the Amazon deal three years ago, I thought I would probably have to give something up, because it's so hard to do all three of these things.' But now, man, you couldn't kick me off the set. Like I absolutely love it. We're having a blast.'\He specifically highlighted his enjoyment of working with Nick Saban on the College GameDay set, stating, 'I’ve known Coach (Saban) a long, long, long time,' Herbstreit added. 'There’s a serious comfort there with him and me and Pat and (co-panelists Desmond Howard) and Rece (Davis). I think it comes across on air. I think people would learn that Nick Saban’s not the guy at the podium with the Coke bottle and his hands going and getting mad at the media. I think he’s shown that he’s really prepared, he’s really good at this. He’s having fun. He’s completely just put himself right in the middle of the chemistry and a lot of the unscripted moments. “He cusses every show, which every time he does I forget that Pat changed the rules on that, so he’s allowed to say words now all the time. But I’m not exaggerating, I’ve never had more fun on the show in 29 years. I love it. I love Pat. I love what he brings, the energy that he brings, Des, just the whole thing.'\Herbstreit concluded with a positive outlook on the future, saying, 'We’re in a great spot. I love having everybody that’s on the show and hopefully we can keep it going all the way through the year and for the next few years going.
