According to LOP
-- Jonathan Coachman's WWE contract is expiring within the next few months. There has been quite a bit of speculation that Coachman could leave the company for a full-time job with MSG Network, although he hasn't said anything about it yet.
Personally if Coach left I would not notice and he has done his job well.

The reason Mick Foley was called in to replace Jonathan Coachman as the color commentator on SmackDown is because Jonathan Coachman was in the midst of interviewing for an on-air position with ESPN. Coachman has been doing broadcasting work for the MSG Network and CBS Sports in recent months and WWE went with Mick Foley because he is 100% dedicated to the company while Coachman has been open with the fact that he's actively exploring other job opportunities.
We can now confirm that Jonathan Coachman has been hired by ESPN as an anchor. There's no word on when he will start with ESPN, but sources within WWE believe Coach's days with the company are numbered. Coachman has been with WWE since December 1999.
