NBC officially announced Tuesday that former Cowboys coach Jason Garrett will replace Drew Brees as a football analyst next season.
Garrett will work on the NFL pregame show Football Night in America on NBC before Sunday Night Football. The 56-year-old will join host Maria Taylor, who is replacing Mike Tirico, and former Colts coach Tony Dungy and Chris Sims.
The formal announcement comes less than a week after Andrew Merchand of the New York Post reported the news. According to Merchand, Mike Tirico will now be a SNF play-by-play announcer for the network.
