Gary Danielson announced his retirement as an analyst from CBS on Wednesday. He will retire after the 2025 college football season.
"I have had the greatest seat in the house for 36 years and have loved every minute of it," Danielson said. "I have discussed the timing of this moment with CBS Sports leadership over the past few years and we felt it was important I remained with the team during our transition to the Big Ten. As we enter our second full season of Big Ten football and my 20th at CBS Sports, the timing just feels right. I have so much respect for Charles Davis as both a person and an analyst. He is going to shine in this role and fit so well with this team. I have been blessed to work with incredible teammates throughout my career and I look forward to one more memorable season with Brad (Nessler), Jenny (Dell), Craig Silver, Steve Milton and the crew."
Former Vol Charles Davis will replace Danielson on CBS in 2026.
"Gary has been the preeminent voice in college football for decades, and someone I have long admired and respected," Davis said. "It is hard to imagine college football Saturdays without him, but I am thrilled we get one last season with him. There is no replacing Gary, but I am truly honored and humbled to succeed him and call games with Brad Nessler and the incredible Big Ten on CBS team."
Davis played defensive back at Tennessee from 1983-86 under head coach Johnny Majors.
