One of the more popular features of the slew of broadcasts ESPN offers for the national championship is the Coaches Film Room, where current college football head coaches weigh in on the game in a live setting.
ESPN announced that Oklahoma State’s Mike Gundy, Boston College’s Jeff Hafley, Vanderbilt’s Derek Mason and TCU’s Gary Patterson will be on the ESPNU broadcast. This year’s Coaches Film Room will air from ESPN’s studios in Charlotte, N.C.
New to this year’s lineup is Coaches Film Room Preview, which is a pregame show on ESPN2 at 5 p.m. hosted by Tom Luginbill, and is set to feature Gundy and Hafley.
Gundy, in his 15th year, and Patterson, who was hired in 2000, are the longest-tenured of the group.
Hafley was named Boston College’s coach in December. He was most recently the co-defensive coordinator for Ohio State. Mason recently finished his sixth season at the helm of the Vanderbilt football program. He is only the second head coach on West End to lead the Commodores to multiple bowl games.
A former newspaper veteran, Keith Farner is a news manager for Saturday Down South.
