Ron Jaworski to Leave ESPN's Monday Night Football Booth to Work in Studio

Love or hate Jon Gruden, we're about to get a heavier dose of him every Monday night next football season.

According to multiple sources, including John Ourand of Sports Business Journal, Ron Jaworski is leaving the broadcast booth for the studio.

ESPN reports that Jaworski has signed a five-year extension to a new expandedย multi-platform NFL analyst role that includes:

"

"appearances onย Sunday NFL Countdown,ย Monday Night Countdown,ย NFL Matchup, NFL-branded specials,ย Mike & Mike in the Morning,ย Pardon theย Interruption, and other platforms and shows throughout the year.ย He will also be featured in ESPNโ€™s annual NFL Draft and Super Bowl week coverage, in addition to having his own NFL-themedย SportsCenter Specialย shows highlighting his expert analysis and Xโ€™s and Oโ€™s film evaluations."

"

Jaworski, known more affectionately as "Jaws," has provided analysis for Monday Night Footballย for the past five years. He's been with ESPN since 1990 and is considered an expert in all things football, but especially in X's and O's.

The move is a rare one for Monday Night Football andย is only the sixth time in history that they've sported a two-man booth in their 42 years, according to ESPN.

Jaws and Gruden made for an interesting dynamic in the boothโ€”one that some people hatedโ€”and now we're going to see and hear them more than ever.
