ESPN has been collaborating with artists on its theme track for the season. Last year, they used the song “Hope” from NF to represent the 2023 college football season.

The sports broadcasting giant has been making plenty of moves in preparation for the upcoming college football season. They also recently hired a veteran head coach to join their broadcast team for this year’s slate of action. ESPN hired long-time college football head coach Steve Addazio Earlier in August, adding him to their impressive list of color commentators for the 2024 season.

The company reported the move in an official press release.

“We are excited to welcome Steve Addazio to our talented roster of analysts,” said Amanda Gifford, ESPN vice president of production. “Steve’s vast experience and enthusiasm for college football make him a perfect fit for our coverage and we look forward to having him join us in the booth this fall.”

His extensive college football career includes head coaching tenures with Boston College, Temple, and Colorado State, as well as assistant stints with Syracuse, Indiana, Notre Dame, and Florida. With the Gators, he won two BCS National Championships under Urban Meyer. In the 2022-2023 season, Addazio worked as the offensive line coach for the Texas A&M Aggies.

He played his college football with Central Connecticut from 1978 to 1981, becoming a four-year starter. Once he moved onto the NFL, he earned tryouts from the New England Patriots, USFL’s Jacksonville Bulls, and the CFL’s Ottawa Rough Riders.

Addazio shared: “I’m honored to join ESPN and share my love for college football with viewers across the country. I’m eager to utilize my coaching experience in a new way and bring my perspective and passion to the commentary booth.”

He will make his debut with ESPN in Week 1 of ESPN’s college football coverage alongside play-by-play commentator Clay Matvick. A full announcement of ESPN’s college football commentary teams will be made sometime in early August.
