He is famous for his work on ESPN's College GameDay program; He is a member of the University of Louisville Hall of Fame and Florida State Hall of Fame
Before his broadcasting career, Corso had a notable coaching career in college football. He served as the head coach at the University of Louisville from 1969 to 1972, where he helped revitalize the program. He then moved on to Indiana University Bloomington, where he coached from 1973 to 1982. During his tenure at Indiana, Corso led the Hoosiers to their first bowl victory in the 1979 Holiday Bowl. His coaching career also included a brief stint at Northern Illinois University in 1984, and he later coached the Orlando Renegades of the United States Football League (USFL) in 1985.
Corso's coaching record may not have been filled with championships, but his impact on the programs he led was significant. He was known for his ability to motivate players and bring energy to the teams he coached. His time at Indiana, in particular, is remembered for the enthusiasm he brought to the program, even in the face of challenging seasons. Corso's coaching career laid the foundation for his transition into broadcasting, where his passion for the game and his engaging personality would find a new platform.
In addition to his work on College GameDay, Corso has been a respected voice in the broader sports community. His contributions to college football have earned him numerous accolades, and he remains a beloved figure in the sport. Despite suffering a stroke in 2009, Corso has continued to be a regular presence on College GameDay, demonstrating his resilience and dedication to the game he loves. His legacy as both a coach and a broadcaster is firmly established, making him one of the most recognizable and respected figures in college football.
