FOX Sports made announced several big additions to their college football broadcast team for the upcoming season.
The network officially announced the hires of former coaches Les Miles and Mark Helfrich, as well as former Florida State and NFL quarterback and ESPN analyst Danny Kanell. 

We are thrilled to have Mark, Les and Danny join FOX Sports for what is going to be our best college football season yet, John Entz, FOX Sports President of Production & Executive Producer said. Mark and Les give us decades of coaching experience and an inside knowledge of the college game, while Danny is a polished broadcaster with a great reputation. We can't wait to get the season started later this week.
Helfrich, who coached at Oregon from 2013-16, will call games alongside play-by-play announcer Justin Kutcher and fellow color commentator Petros Papdakis. The trio will open the season with Saturday’s game between Maryland and Texas at 12:00 pm ET on FS1.

Miles, a former national and multi-time SEC champion at LSU, will take on his first broadcasting position by making his debut in Week 3 joining play-by-play announcer Tim Brando, fellow analyst Spencer Tillman and sideline reporter Holly Sonders for Northern Illinois at Nebraska on Saturday, Sept. 16 at 12:00 pm ET on FS1.

Kanell will join play-by-play announcer Eric Collins and fellow analyst AJ Hawk for Liberty at Baylor at 7:00 pm ET on FS2 in Week 1. The former Florida State standout has contributed to ESPN broadcasts from 2010-17 as a college football game and studio analyst, as well as co-host for the weekday radio show “Rusillo & Kanell.”

Future Hall of Famer Reportedly Set to Become ESPN’s Latest Full-Time Hire



Paul Pierce is reportedly coming to ESPN as a full-time analyst ahead of the 2017-18 NBA season not even a full season after his retirement.

After finishing up his 19th NBA season, Pierce retired from the NBA after the Los Angeles Clippers were knocked out of the playoffs. He immediately joined ESPN as a guest analyst and apparently made enough of an impression to make the network ready to bring him on full-time, per Sports Illustrated:
“ESPN executives have been so impressed by Pierce’s work that they have let him know they are interested in bringing him in fulltime for the 2017-18 season. Pierce said he and his reps will sit down with ESPN executives after the Finals but this is something he wants. Nothing is official but take this one to Vegas: Next year’s fulltime NBA Countdown group will be Michele Beadle, Chauncey Billups, Jalen Rose, and Pierce.”
Pierce has thrown out all kinds of ludicrous comments during his short stint at ESPN, fitting right into the bold prediction mentality the worldwide leader loves to present. Take Example 1A, for instance:



While Pierce has openly discussed a future in an NBA front office, specifically with the Boston Celtics, he has seemingly fit right into place on television.

We’ll see what he has to say ahead of Game 5 of the NBA Finals, which starts Monday night at 9 p.m. ET.

The move comes after ESPN tore apart its NBA coverage and restructured the company amid widespread layoffs.
