  I don’t like it already. I personally thought OC and Swinney were good co-hosts. I love Hackett as a football player but I think he’s annoying on the radio.

  Same here. His comments as a player were always funny, but they were also few and far between. He can’t keep up that pace for 4 hours, and starts to grate pretty quickly.
  
  Hopefully that’s just inexperience, and he’ll get better with time.

  Love the guy, but I don’t find his talk-show-ability to be appealing.

  Did they dump Swinney?
  
  He was a true baby blue UCLA Bruin when it came down to it.

    Yeah he’s gone. I think he got canned, because it was really sudden and they didn’t appear to have a replacement until today.

      I suspect the audit interview had something to do with it.

        Well he did audit a university for cancelling a basketball game so I wouldn’t put it past him to get a guy fired for giving an opinion.

        Not saying it was only the audit interview. Could have been other things too, but the timing of letting him go from the time that he the interview is certainly suspect.

  I listened a bit today. At first I thought no way but I think he’ll grow into the role.
