After over a decade as a host on SiriusXM NFL Radio, former NFL quarterback Jim Miller is no longer part of the network's on-air team. Miller's longtime co-host Pat Kirwan made the announcement, thanking Miller for his contributions while also making a cryptic statement about hoping Miller "gets on with his life" going forward.
Why it matters
Jim Miller was a fixture on SiriusXM's NFL coverage for many years, providing analysis and insights from his experience as a former player. His sudden departure raises questions about the circumstances around his exit and what it means for the future of the network's NFL programming.
The details
Miller, who co-hosted the "Movin' The Chains" show with Kirwan since 2013, was notably absent from SiriusXM's Super Bowl coverage last week. Kirwan announced Miller's departure on Monday, thanking him for his "many years" of contributions to the network. However, Kirwan also made a cryptic statement about hoping Miller "gets on with his life", inviting speculation about the reasons behind Miller's exit.
- Miller was last on the air the Sunday before Super Bowl week.
- The prior week, Miller was broadcasting from the Senior Bowl in Mobile, Alabama.
- Miller was not part of SiriusXM's Super Bowl Radio Row coverage, even though it was announced he'd participate.
