Verne is past his prime. Although sad to see him go if he is gone, every broadcaster either has to go out on his own or be replaced. I hope he has one more year at least to make the "Koby farewell" goodbye tour. For the past couple of years, I thought he reported a game in one tired cliche after another.
The way I understand it he will have this last college football season then be done. I've enjoyed him over the years but it's time for him to step down. IMO, football is just too fast pace for him to keep up at his age. He makes a lot of mistakes. I'm sure the network knows this and one reason they are bringing Nessler in.
He'll continue doing the Masters as long as he's able to sit upright.
