Former Tampa Bay Buccaneers coach Jon Gruden will replace Tony Kornheiser as broadcast analyst on ESPN Monday Night Football next season.

Here’s what Gruden had to say about the new gig:

“This is a tremendous opportunity and I am very excited to be associated with ESPN and Monday Night Football. I grew up a fan of Monday Night Football, and whether I’ve coached on Monday night or watched, I’ve hardly missed a game all these years. To join Mike and Jaws in the booth and to work alongside this top-notch team is going to be a real thrill.”

Kornheiser released his thoughts as well:

“If I could handpick a replacement of a football guy, I would cast a net and drag in Jon Gruden. He is the two things you most want — smart and funny — and has the two things I don’t — good hair and a tan. I love PTI and am looking forward to continuing to yammer and yodel with Wilbon until the end of time.”

Gruden took the Bucs to the Superbowl in 2003 but was fired immediately following the team’s collapse at the end of last season.
