“#Mike Golic details his sad ESPN ending: ‘Blow to the ego’<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n

Mike Golic was booted without being offered a pay cut by the Miami Dolphins, the old Houston Oilers and now ESPN.<\/p>\n

In a recent podcast with with Richard Deitsch<\/a> of The Athletic, the longtime radio host equated his departure from ESPN earlier this year to when he was released by teams during his NFL career. <\/p>\n

\u201cWhen \u2018Mike & Mike\u2019 ended, they still felt there was value to having me there,\u201d the 58-year-old Golic said. \u201cThat\u2019s why the new morning show with me and Trey and my son [Mike Jr.] got going, but after that deal and contract was up, they just felt there wasn\u2019t any worth. And, not even from a monetary point, because they didn\u2019t even talk about taking less money. We knew everybody was taking pay cuts. We didn\u2019t even talk about that.\u201d<\/p>\n

At ESPN, Golic co-hosted the popular \u201cMike & Mike\u201d morning radio and simulcast show with Mike Greenberg for 17 years and then co-hosted a replacement show with his son and Trey Wingo until last July.<\/p>\n

Golic said he previously took a pay cut when \u201cMike & Mike\u201d dissolved and the new program began. He broadcast college football game<\/a>s last fall but revealed that was at his own urging to stay involved.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey said, \u2018Well hell, I guess he wasn\u2019t going to work and was going to get paid anyways.\u2019 So I did that,\u201d Golic said. \u201cAnd we\u2019ve gone back to them since. There were probably three or four different entities we were talking about college and ESPN was one of them. And their last conversation with my agent was \u2018No, don\u2019t want it.\u2019 Not even a talk of we can\u2019t pay much. It was just nothing.\u201d<\/p>\n

ESPN has parted ways with several of its big names, most recently Kenny Mayne. Golic told The Athletic he is looking at a few options to return to broadcasting.<\/p>\n

\u201cSh\u2013, is it a blow to the ego? Sure. To anybody it would be,\u201d Golic said. \u201cWhen you are there for as long as you are, and all of a sudden it\u2019s not even discussed to keep you there, yeah, that\u2019s a blow to the ego. But that\u2019s life. I can\u2019t sit here and cry about it. You move on.\u201d<\/p>\n

Golic\u2019s NFL career ended in 1993 and he began at ESPN in 1995. When Golic asked two executives to explain why he was no longer wanted, he says he didn\u2019t gain much clarity.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe first response was \u2018We don\u2019t have to tell you,\u2019 \u201d Golic said. \u201cAnd I was like OK, and then it was \u2018Well we just felt it was time for a change.\u2019 \u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n
