Maj. Tom O'Brien is used to pressure.
He was a three-year starting defensive end for Navy from 1968-1970, he served two tours in the Marines and coached football for 40 years. But O'Brien said he still gets pregame jitters in the broadcast booth.
O'Brien has worked as a color analyst for ESPN 3 for the past two years, but he will take over as the radio analyst for Navy football in 2017.
"I got a taste of what it's like to be on the other side of a football game, looking at it from a different viewpoint," O'Brien said on Glenn Clark Radio July 3. "You still got to go on the air, and you still got to perform, and you have to prepare and spend time each week looking at the opponent on tape so that you can speak knowledgably to the fans, because they'll call you out."
