Lee Corso and Paul Finebaum have both been longtime fixtures in the college football broadcasting world, but who’s had more of an impact through their veteran careers?
That questions was recently posed on Twitter: “Who is a bigger name in college football?”
Fans from around the college football world debated this topic. And for the most part, the argument seemed pretty one-sided.
“The difference between Lee Corso and Paul Finebaum is that one is a near-irreplaceable mainstay of college football Saturdays and the other is Paul Finebaum,” one fan wrote.
“Like asking who’s a bigger name, the President or a Senator. Corso has been national for decades on the biggest college football platform. Finebaum is still a huge, but primarily regional, name,” another added.
Not even comparable. Coach is the 🐐 https://t.co/vLXWMJYIvR

Corso, a former head coach at Louisville, Indiana and Northern Illinois, began his broadcasting career with ESPN in 1987 as an analyst for the iconic College GameDay. From then on, he hasn’t looked back — providing college football fans with unforgettable entertainment including his “Not so fast, my friend” catchphrase and his weekly headgear predictions.
Finebaum has also been covering college football since the 80s, but his reach is far more limited than Corso’s. Through his decades-long career as a reporter and analyst, the now-ESPN personality has always focused on SEC football action.
