Calls Mount for Lee Corso to Retire After Saturday's 'College GameDay' Appearance

The ESPN staple has slowed down at age 89

Every Saturday, ESPN's "College GameDay" is the ultimate preview of the week's best games. Its panelists go into a deep analysis of the most trending topics and biggest games of the week. 

The show has been around since 1987, and so has analyst Lee Corso. The former coach is one of the legendary analysts in college football history; he's been one of the faces of GameDay for all 37 of its seasons.

After his appearance on the show ahead of the matchup between the No. 4 Alabama Crimson Tide and No. 2 Georgia Bulldogs, fans called for his retirement as they noticed him drooling. 

"They gotta get Lee Corso off TV man... he was just drooling while talking," said one fan. 

This wasn't the only fan to notice him drooling, as another added, "Lee Corso up there drooling while he's trying to talk. Please let that man retire."

Other fans have also called for his retirement, with one saying, "It's time for Lee Corso to retire."

Another fan added not only that he should retire, but that it's hard to understand him when he talks, saying, "Lee Corso needs to reitre. It's impossible to understand him 90% of the time he talks."

Unfortunately, there were even more fans calling for his retirement, even those who love Corso. "I love Lee Corso, but he really needs to retire," one fan said. 

Although he's a legendary analyst, a big swath of fans don't want him on the panel anymore. He's 89 years old, and appears to be showing his age. He's become hard for some people to understand. 

It's unfortunate, but the fans could be right in their calls for retirement.
