Terry Bradshaw Reveals FOX’s Plans To Finally Replace Him

This article was originally published on Total Pro Sports.

Terry Bradshaw has been on Fox NFL Sunday for 32 years, starting with the network’s inaugural 1994 NFL season.

Although Bradshaw recently signed a two-year extension with the network, he knows that the writing is on the wall. For years, fans have complained about how he does his job and called for him to retire.

Now, that wish for fans might be coming soon, and Bradshaw absolutely sees it coming.

Terry Bradshaw Expects Fox to Replace Him After the 2029 Super Bowl

Terry Bradshaw seems to have accepted that Fox will decide when his broadcasting run is over. The Hall of Famer told Men’s Health in an interview that he expects to be replaced after Fox broadcasts the Super Bowl in 2029.

“I am totally confident on the air, absolutely. Supremely confident … I’m going through now what everybody that’s in their 70s goes through,” he said.

I’m 78. I just signed a two-year extension, and I’m pretty sure no matter how well I perform over the next two years, they’re going to want to replace me,” Bradshaw said.

Over three decades with the company, Bradshaw has won multiple Sports Emmys for Outstanding Sports Personality/Analyst. Consequently, he has been on 10 Super Bowl assignments for the network. Furthermore, he was inducted into the National Association of Broadcasters Hall of Fame for his work.

Bradshaw has no plans to announce his retirement because he doesn’t want a special tribute.

“I’m not going to announce my retirement, because in two years when we do the Super Bowl, after my contract is expiring, I don’t want anybody to do a tribute,” he said.

“So I’m never going to say I’m going to retire. Because, look, they may say, ‘Hey, you’re still doing a good job. We’ll sign you for another year.’ That could easily happen. They’re pissing into the wind if they think I’m gonna tell them I’m retiring.”

Bradshaw has talked about leaving more than once before. He first floated an exit in 2008, naming 2011 as his target year. Ahead of Super Bowl LIX in 2025, he again forecast his retirement.

Maybe the third time’s the charm.
