The football season is always a busy time for the Herbstreit family, but moving forward in 2022, it will be even more amped up than usual.
Kirk Herbstreit added another big job to his responsibilities this year, as he will be an analyst for Amazon’s Thursday night NFL broadcasts. Kirk will do this in addition to his college football duties for ESPN.
Thankfully, the Herbstreits are used to a busy fall.
Kirk has a solid rock at home in his wife, Allison Herbstreit.
The former Ohio State University cheerleader met her now husband in college, where he played quarterback. The Herbstreits settled down in Ohio, but later moved to Nashville, Tennessee, where they currently reside.
Kirk and Allison have added a home in the Cincinnati area, where their youngest plays high school football.
The move from Columbus to Nashville had to do with Ohio State fans.
“To continue to have to defend myself and my family in regards to my love and devotion to Ohio State is unfair,” Herbstreit told Bob Hunter of the Columbus Dispatch. “I don’t like moving. I love living here. I don’t want to leave. But I just can’t do this anymore. I really can’t keep going like this.
Herbstreit added that the majority of Ohio State fans are great.
“Eighty to ninety percent of the Ohio State fans are great. It’s the vocal minority that make it rough,” he continued. “They probably represent only 5 to 10 percent of the fan base, but they are relentless.”
The Herbstreits have a full household.

Hopefully Kirk and Allison can hire some good dog walkers this fall!
