Like any great teams in any sport or any good TV show or band a lot has to do with chemistry weather it's between scheme & player, coaching staff & front office to the field that is one thing they always had with MNF . Not exactly sure how it went as far as who came in for who but just trying to make a point. When Howard, & Don retired they brought in Al & Dan , then Madden came in add to that Hank & country music both were hot at the time which added to that chemistry over all so they looked at who would keep the chemistry of MNF going . It was the same when ESPN was on top Boomer, TJ, Stuart, Eisen, Kenny Mayne, Olberman these were all characters that added to the show & their chemistry along with the production it all worked to make it #1. Just like bands, when the drummer & lead singer for Molly Hatchet left the 1st time they were never the same, some change can be better, build upon or added to like when Madden came to MNF - SCORE !! it was the perfect fit for the change but when they changed from ABC to ESPN Al Micheal's a main stay the glue for MNF saw the writing on the wall & made a smart decision because he is still the voice of the game of the week !! MNF's over all lay out of the show just changed networks, add in the A.D.D. factor 200 channels of nothing to watch so people can't stay focused on 1 thing for more than 5 minutes not only NFL TV ratings but other things suffer because of it ! But through it all football has stayed a attention getter with it's original fans passed on to some younger fans by us die hards just trying to pass it on to the younger folks and making it relevant in the landscape of their intake from media today given the A.D.D. of multi media not sure what the future holds for any given NFL games .
