Summary

Jeff Culhane goes back to an interview with Gene Deckerhoff that he conducted 10 years ago at a radio station in Nebraska. Deckerhoff’s stories about Florida State coach Bobby Bowden still stick with Culhane, reminding him that the FSU platform provides the chance to impact people at a rare level.

“I always knew that I wanted the opportunity to be a play-by-play announcer at a place where it mattered, where people cared, and the games and the stories, and the players and the coaches, where it was all instilled and injected into your DNA,” Culhane told Noles247’s On The Bench. “There aren’t many places where you can say that. Florida State is one of those.”

Culhane sits down with OTB to recall that conversation with Deckerhoff, what it’ll be like following a broadcasting legend, his process of landing the FSU job, his broadcasting style, and more.
