Michele Tafoya will replace Lisa Guerrero as the sideline reporter for ABC?s Monday Night Football.
Guerrero lasted just one season after taking over for Melissa Stark. In discussing the switch Monday, Monday Night Football producer Fred Gaudelli said he didn?t think Guerrero was a good fit for the job.
?The sideline reporter role is in an incredibly hectic environment, nothing is predictable,? he said. ?It was our hope that we would work like gangbusters to expedite that curve as quickly as we could, but in the end the talent and role weren?t as compatible.?
Tafoya brings much more experience than Guerrero, a former cheerleader and actress. Tafoya spent last football season as ESPN?s onsite reporter at Monday Night Football games, and joined ABC Sports in 2002 as a courtside reporter on NBA telecasts.
