Russ Eisenstein posted announcement in the Ohio Bobcats X account and his personalaccount that he is "stepping away" from his role as voice of the Bobcats, presumably immediately. Says he has a lot he wants to accomplish, but gave no hint on future plans. Timing is interesting, less that 6 weeks prior to start of the season, hope he gave the athletic department some heads-up.
Honestly surprised it didn’t happen five years ago. Not sure how Russ did it all these years on the salary the university pays for this position. Sure sounds like he doesn’t have anything lined up, but who knows. Wish Russ well….he was solid at his craft.
As for replacement….I’ll throw out Marty Bannister or Jake Hrmoda. But I’m guessing Jake is making similar or more at Ole Miss than what this job pays at Ohio.
