Golic grew up just outside Cleveland with his brothers Bob and Greg. Like most kids at the time, Golic and his brothers were playing all sports, but eventually focused on football and wrestling. A standout in both sports in high school, Golic would follow older brother Bob and compete in both at Notre Dame.  On the Fighting Irish football team, Mike played for Gerry Faust and helped lead the Irish to a pair of bowl games including the Aloha Bowl when he captained the team his senior year in 1984 despite an injury.  That injury would drop his draft status and in 1985 he was picked in the 10th Round (255 overall) by the Houston Oilers.  After playing a few seasons for the Oilers, Mike would come into his own after signing with the Philadelphia Eagles in 1987. Playing for head coach Buddy Ryan, Golic was part of an incredible defense that included Reggie White and Jerome Brown (he shares his memories of both teammates). It was also in Philadelphia that Golic started his broadcasting career with weekly segments on the “Randall Cunningham Show”. Golic would play for the Eagles until 1992 ending his career with the Miami Dolphins in 1993.  After what he calls a “forced retirement” in 1994, Golic’s broadcasting career took off in 1995 with his first radio show and analyst stints with ESPN.  In 1998 he moved his family to Connecticut for a short-lived morning radio show, and would eventually be paired with Mike Greenberg in 2000 starting a long run as co-host of “Mike & Mike”.  When that pairing ended in 2017, “Golic and Wingo” was formed with Trey Wingo and Mike Golic Jr.  While the show only lasted until 2020, Golic Sr. says working with his son has been the highlight of his career.  Following 25 years at ESPN (including plenty of memories and friendships), Golic has made another transition hosting several podcasts, organizing a charity golf event and sleeping in each morning.  Golic shares all this with us including the end of “Mike & Mike”, his respect for fellow football analyst Bill Curry, his desire to be the next analyst on the NBC Sports broadcasts of Notre Dame Football and his love for his pug Hank.
