WEEI Wants Schilling
- Thread starter raccoonradio
- Start date
The articles quotes sources saying what Schilling really wants is the job Tim McCarver (to retire) has with Fox MLB coverage.
>>“The ’EEI gig will probably pay a half million, the FOX gig is more like $5 million,” said Someone Who Knows. “When McCarver leaves, Schilling would be one of the obvious choices to replace him.”

>>it could be that the station is looking to cover its bases so to speak, by gauging the interest of Schilling in taking the job should Michael Holley decide he’s had enough of working with Mike Salk.
It doesn’t seem to be a secret that Holley would love to get out and jump over to ESPN
And as Herald notes, Schill may prefer Fox anyway...(maybe could do both--work 4 days for 'EEI then go to the Sat game on Fox?)

In the Globe, Chad Finn: http://www.bostonglobe.com/sports/2...ficant-role/sDuxH2tz4waE3nDhBB6UKJ/story.html
Finn says one scenario "posted elsewhere" would have Salk & Curt-In-The-Studio, with Holley maybe departing--but Michael
denies he wants to flee to ESPN; a three man show? Finn wonders if Ent. could afford it; and as said, #38 knows baseball
but what about other sports? Other interesting tidbits there incl the possibility of Joe Haggerty:
>> Haggerty has had some heated battles on Comcast SportsNet New England with WEEI morning personality Kirk Minihane, and they are not a made-for-TV production. The mutual dislike is such that Haggerty’s arrival might result in Minihane deciding to depart.

Jumping in late here ... but Haggerty and Minihane do detest each other. They had a pretty nasty go of it on Twitter at least once, probably more.
