goonsquad Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 I know that 980 dropped Cooley/Kevin, but can't find where I can now hear from Cooley (or Kevin?). Any clue where he's ended up? I miss his post-game analysis and film breakdown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voice_of_Reason Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 There's an "All Things Sports Talk Radio" thread in the tailgate you should check out. To directly answer the question, he's no longer with 980, but he still does the games for the Redskins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rex Tomb Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 It looks like he's also doing the show (Redskins 100) during the week to discuss the upcoming opponent and what we're doing on offense and defense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goonsquad Posted September 11, 2018 Author Share Posted September 11, 2018 Thanks. Just posted a rant over there. Hoping to hear and see more from Cooley, even if it's not on the radio. The guys has potential to go places in the/a front office or as a broadcaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capsman Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 980 never replaced its FM station, so pretty clear cut why their ratings went down hill. Does anyone get a good AM reception? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ixcuincle Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 He was not retained by 980 brass. He will hopefully have another avenue soon for his breakdowns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skinsinparadise Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 I've listened to Sheehan's podcast shows. He more or less implied that the new owners of 980 want to go with radio hosts on the cheap. And since Sheehan and Cooley weren't playing ball with that it wasn't going to work. He's trying to lock in Cooley to do the podcasts with him but implied that Cooley is also mulling other things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I live out of market nowawadays but still come to as many games as I can and like to listen to 980 during football season. At this point, I really have no reason to turn on 980. 54 minutes ago, ixcuincle said: https://www.redskins.com/video/cooley-film-breakdown-on-alex-smith Interesting, and thanks... but this is a poor facsimile of his past film breakdowns. On 980 he could do a long form, independent breakdown where he could give grades to each player. He has always had a (seemingly) close relationship with the front office and players, yet you got the impression he didn't do a lot of sugar coating. A really interesting blend because he had/has the access to get the inside information, yet didn't let it skew his commentary. If a player played like a D+, Cooley scored him a D+. Dude needs to find something more worthy of his talents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wit33 Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 As an out of market Skins fan, Sheehan and Cooley were amazing! Tons of value lost as a fan not having those guys during week to talk Skins football. The film break downs were gold and appeared to be well received by most. Outside of Cooley not wanting to put the man hours to do them, it would seem a meeting of the minds can take place on some medium for him to make it happen. Season has started and that would seem unlikely though. Maybe next year ? Im sure Sheehan is begging him, but no money to offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoCalMike Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 Yeah as an out of market 'Skins fan, I usually don't tune into 980 or 106.7 much during the offseason besides maybe draft time and if any huge signings are made where I know it will dominate the show the following day. Sucks that 980 dropped Kevin/Cooley because Cooley's film breakdown was probably my most anticipated segment of radio every week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

veteranskinsfan Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 Yes, why did Comcast let Chick go? The Comcast weekly football shows really are bad and hard to watch. JP Finley is ok but the other guys are bad but they probably are much cheaper salary wise than keeping Chick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there was a problem with Chick's contract. I believe his contract was up and they didn't renew it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BatteredFanSyndrome Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 On the pregame show today Larry said there would be an announcement about Cooley’s future tomorrow.

BatteredFanSyndrome Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 Not that cooley hasn’t always been in the FO’s pocket given his relationship to the team, but this format sucks. I’d prefer a non-Redskins related production. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I presume its something about radio considering Sheehan said Cooley could do his podcast but there is a potential conflict that might be arising or something like that. Kevin Sheehan replied AB Goode @ab_goode82 1h1 hour ago More I’m still waiting on the @thecooleyzone film breakdown @kevinsheehanDC please make this happen Kevin Sheehan @kevinsheehanDC 1h1 hour ago More I want it to happen, I'm still trying to make it happen, he wants it to happen.....not our call.

It also popped up on my FB feed. I was hoping for radio. A live event on social media through the team, ugh. I’d imagine his film breakdowns would go here but he would no doubt have to water them down in this format. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
