Chris Stewart was ready to find a job elsewhere and Eli Gold can't take a hint. It needed to be done.

Eli Gold told Bama to frick off too.

Kellen DaBore is the real announcer.

What I read from Eli was that UA didn't ask him back, he did not retire.
I'm no fan of the guy, but this is a weird move by bama.

No surprise Barners are celebrating a guy's recovery from cancer leaving him unable to perform his job up to the high standard he'd set.

No surprise. It was time to turn the page with the regime change. Glad he's doing well health wise. 35 years was a good ride.

I love Eli, and cancer sucks. His broadcasts this past season were tough to listen to. He only called home games and the IB, and his fastball was clearly gone.
Play by play man for the radio broadcast isn’t like Corso putting on a mascot head or apparently like the president being able to board Air Force One. You need to be able to do it well every time.

Don't get me wrong, I grew up with Eli behind the mic announcing and I appreciate everything he brought to Alabama, but he's getting long in the tooth. Chris Stewart does a fine job IMO.

The good news for Eli is he wasn’t shoved up a flight of stairs or shot like a young minority mother. Just kicked to the curb like trash (which ironically puts him right with the fan base he used to serve)

Damn that's crazy, State fan here, but growing up in Alabama, my entire childhood is filled with memories of listening to Eli on my radio headset on Saturdays sitting in a tree stand.

Hell, they all grew up with Eli on the air just like we did.
If any fanbase appreciates a good radio announcer, it's an Auburn fan. i.e. Jim Fyffe/Rod Bramblett, etc.

Chris is a phenomenal PBP guy in all three sports. He would be an asset anywhere.
Eli probably poops himself in the booth now and provides no depiction on what’s going on in the game whatsoever.

They chose not to renew his contract, and its in everyone's best interest
Dude lost his edge and it's obvious
