Jon Gruden has exited the Monday Night Football booth in favor of the Raiders job, and SB Nation has suggested some candidates to replace him. First, there’s the popular in-house candidate: Randy Moss. The once-divisive player is a no-doubt-about-it Hall of Famer and a beloved part of ESPN’s Monday Night Countdown team. Former 49ers great and long-time commentator Steve Young is a conventional possibility. There’s also Andrew Hawkins, who had a far less illustrious career as a receiver than Moss, but now runs ESPN’s Snapchat show with aplomb. SB Nation also suggests Beth Mowins, who as a play-by-play announcer is unlikely to get the job as a color commentator. Nevertheless, Mowins has been calling college football for more than a decade and became the first woman since 1987 to call an NFL game this season.
