INDIANAPOLIS — After 14 years, Dan Dakich will depart 1070 The Fan. On Thursday, the coach turned radio and broadcast personality hosted his last show on local Indianapolis sports radio, according to a tweet from Dakich.
In his statement on Twitter, Dakich said:
“Earlier today, I did my last show for Radio One. I wants to thank Radio One, Jeff Smulyan and the whole team at Emmis Communications for a great 14 years. Given the success of my show Don’t @ Me on Outkick and the busy holiday season, this is the perfect time to focus on one show and to make it the best I can possibly make it.
I can’t thank all the listeners enough for 14 years of unbelievable fun and controversy.
I’m not going anywhere. Catch me every day from 9 – 11 on Outkick on Don’t @ Me.”
Prior to starting his radio and broadcasting career, Dakich was a college basketball coach, notably filling in at Indiana University following the departure of Kelvin Sampson.
WRTV has reached out to Radio One for comment on the departure of Dakich.
