Mike Golic Sr. is returning to the Notre Dame football radio broadcast team for the 2024 season, where he will serve as a color analyst alongside returning play‑by‑play announcer Tony Simeone and studio host Johnny Soper on the SoFi Notre Dame Radio Network.
Golic’s connection to Notre Dame runs deep; he played defensive line for the Fighting Irish from 1981 to 1984 before embarking on a decade‑long NFL career with the Houston Oilers, Philadelphia Eagles and Miami Dolphins.
From the Gridiron to the Booth
After hanging up his cleats, Golic transitioned to broadcasting, co‑hosting ESPN Radio’s iconic morning show "Mike & Mike" for nearly 18 years. His analytical voice became a staple on ESPN’s football coverage across both television and radio platforms.
Now, the veteran analyst is bringing that same insight to the collegiate ranks, joining a broadcast team that aims to blend tradition with fresh perspective as the network prepares for another competitive season of Notre Dame football.
Family Legacy on the Airwaves
Adding a personal touch to the lineup, Golic’s son, Mike Golic Jr., is also making a comeback to ESPN Radio. The duo will co‑host a new program titled "The Golics," scheduled to debut on Monday, August 3, offering listeners a unique father‑son dynamic that bridges college and professional football.
Mike Golic Jr. himself earned a place in Fighting Irish lore as an offensive lineman from 2008 to 2012, further cementing the family’s deep roots in Notre Dame athletics.
The upcoming season will see the Golic pair sharing the microphone with seasoned voices Simeone and Soper, promising a blend of historic perspective, analytical depth, and familial camaraderie that could redefine the listening experience for Notre Dame fans across the United States.
