Alex Mortensen, son of late ESPN NFL insider Chris Mortensen, reportedly now full-time UAB head coach

Mortensen was 2-4 as interim head coach, including a win over then-No. 22 Memphis.

"Reminds me of his dad."

"It felt like Mort really worked the room."

"We’re excited and looking forward to celebrate these exceptional leaders, their contributions, and their legacy."

The Jaguars once dared—and nearly succeeded—in trying to recruit him away from journalism.

"And when it came to breaking news, Chris Mortensen was the guy. And a great reporter as well."

"The rarest of teammates in this business."

"It is just one reason why so many turned to him for guidance on stories that mattered, because he did."

"That was Mort. Dedicated to his craft, always."

"Mort was the definition of class, professionalism, and friendship."

"He’s a sweet, sweet person with a sweet family and that’s who I’m thinking about right now."

"He paved the way in this industry."

After a 30+ year tenure at ESPN, longtime NFL reporter Chris Mortensen announced that he has stepped away from the network.

Mortensen had worked with Alabama since 2014.

"Murray is described as self-centered, immature, and a finger-pointer, per sources."

Mort is back on the air, but that doesn't mean he's cancer-free.

Technical issues led to ESPN pulling away from Monday Night Countdown and throwing to SportsCenter ten minutes later.
