Rece Davis reacts to another GameDay member out at ESPN: âNo one helped me more weeklyâ

Rece Davis said there isn’t any other single person who helped him prep more for “College GameDay” week in and week out than Gene Wojciechowski.

On Monday, Davis said farewell to Wojciechowski, who announced earlier in the day he was no longer with ESPN. Wojciechowski was among those on-air personalities that were let go last week.

“No one helped me more weekly with ‘GameDay’ prep,” David tweeted Monday night. “Confidante. Journalistic guide. Sounding board. Brilliant writer and story teller. Integrity beyond reproach. Most of all a tremendous friend. Friday night quick dinner to talk it through one more time. What Gene has accomplished in this business and contributed to our show is beyond measure. Thank you Geno. WE are in YOUR debt.”

The cuts are part of the plan by The Walt Disney Co. to lay off thousands of employees – including ESPN as part of a previously announced plan to eliminate 7,000 jobs this year.

The job cuts include entertainment, ESPN, parks, experiences and products. The company previously said that it doesn’t expect the job cuts to impact hourly frontline operations roles at its parks and resorts.

Disney CEO Bob Iger had announced in February that the company was going to cut about 7,000 jobs as part of an ambitious companywide cost-savings plan and “strategic reorganization.” The job cuts amount to about 3% of the entertainment giant’s global workforce.
