I don't know when this is happening, but just wondering who would possibly replace Dolph when he retires. I feel it should be soon, because he is getting brutal during basketball, but he may plug along for 5-10 more years. Just looking for possibilities.
 
Sorry just had to...

I don't know the person needs to speak with motivation. How about when Dolph retires, Kirk retires and heads up to the call booth.
 
I am trying to think of candidates. Jon Miller? Chris Hassel? Who would be a qualified person?
 
Hawk fb and bball are big time gigs. Has Chris Hassel even called a college game? Chuck Long has been an analyst which is way different than filling all the air time between plays etc. Long would certainly be a good NAME. I agree that Dolph is getting a little off on his play by play. Maybe need to have Dolph have the occasional head cold so they can try out some new blood.
 
I think they should go with a local Iowa guy. Find an announcer for one of the local high schools in the state that's talented, and have them take over......................editors note: i might have a bias here for reasons that i shouldn't need to explain.

I think Hassel has while he was at ESPN. Maybe not football but he was doing hoops for sure I think. Long is a color guy he's not play by play material. If Dolph retired now I'd be perfectly ok with that. He was ok when I was about 12. Now I can't stand him... Just a preference but I went from listening to games on the radio all the time as a kid and teenager to now I'll watch it on TV cause I can't stand how Dolph calls games.
 
Brad Banks...............Sorry.

To be honest, I don't even listen to him or the games on the radio. I have to watch them.
 
Oh I know who fits the bill, Paul Burmeister. Played QB at Iowa, worked for NFL Network and I think the Big Ten networked and has called games and does a real good job. Has a great voice.

I would love to see Burmeister with Eddie and when Eddie retires bring in another hawk like Long or Hughes, maybe Tim Dwight if he has the time.
