Urban Meyer’s decision to take over the Jacksonville Jaguars franchise left an opening on FOX’s Big Noon Kickoff pregame show for the 2021 college football season and it appears the network has landed its replacement.
If you aren’t familiar with the show, Big Noon Kickoff is FOX’s version of College GameDay.
According to Andrew Marchand of the New York Post, FOX has landed former Washington and Boise State head coach Chris Petersen to serve as an analyst on the show.
One interesting note of Petersen’s deal, according to Marchand, is that the coach-turned-analyst won’t be hitting the road with the rest of the crew when they travel. Instead, Petersen will remain in the studio all season.
Marchand is also reporting that ESPN was interested in adding Petersen to its team of analysts for the upcoming season.
Chris Petersen will be a part of Fox's Big Noon Kickoff show, according to sources.
