Kirk Herbstreit’s Surprising Response to Lee Corso’s Shocking Farewell Reveal
Either way, Corso’s final GameDay will be a bittersweet moment for Herbstreit. The duo has formed a tight bond that’s apparent on and off the air.
While Corso mentored Herbstreit when he joined the show in 1996, the former quarterback has often helped Corso since he suffered a stroke in 2009.
“Coach Corso has had an iconic run in broadcasting, and we’re all lucky to have been around to witness it. He has taught me so much throughout our time together, and he’s been like a second father to me,” Herbstreit said in an ESPN press release earlier this year. “It has been my absolute honor to have the best seat in the house to watch Coach put on that mascot head each week.”
