Erin Andrews has decided to move on from ESPN and she landed on her feet with a job with FOX Sports! Andrews will host a host a new 30-minute p college football show along with contributing to the NFL and MLB coverage. ESPN was aggressively attempting to keep Andrews but she decided move on although the decision was not easy for her.
“This was a difficult move but it was the right move because it’s allowing me to do so many things that I probably would not have been able to do had I stayed at ESPN,” Andrews told SI.com on Sunday night. “It’s a different way to expand my role. I’m not tired yet. I don’t want to hang it up. I just need to get better and these were different opportunities that I would not be able to find anywhere but at Fox Sports.”
“The NFL was a huge thing; it’s always been a dream,” Andrews said. “I always wanted to work in the NFL and they are offering me a role in it.”
“This wasn’t easy for me at all,” she said. “I have had two days of difficult phone calls and I will probably have another week of that. They wanted me back and a lot of my co-workers thought it was happening. They were expecting I was coming back. I thought ESPN was wonderful. [ESPN president John] Skipper and [ESPN executive vice president of production John] Wildhack worked very hard and asked what they could do. They were fantastic. This has not been an easy decision at all.”
