With approx 1 million H.S. athlete's playing football, only 40,000 make it to the Collegiate level, there are 1,824 active NFL players on game day. 

 

With approx 45,000 announcers at radio statons in U.S., there are 125 PBP at Div 1 and only 32 for the league.

There are many contract PBP that work for broadcast syndicates and this is where Frangy falls into. He is not Div 1. talent..

He might have been doing S.I.U vs Ball State one week and Kent vs Miami (OH) the next.

 

There are precious few Vin Scully, Kevin Moist, Jack Buck, Gene Deckerhoff and Mick Huber's type's out there. Only a few individuals can instantly transfer what they have seen into cohesive and cognizant verbal flow with out flubbing and leaving out pertinent information. It takes time to form chemistry with Color and Commentary. LAGS is very,very good. Bo is still working on it, but extremely intelligent. Frank reminds me of a big fish from a SMALL pond getting tossed into Lake Superior.

 

It is absolutely no different from a rookie adjusting to the "Speed of the Game"

 

Frank is an UDFA trying to adjust, whether or not he has the mental capability and verbal gymnastics to adjust is still open to review.

IMHO live action and tape review does not look completely promising.
