LeSean McCoy knows what it feels like to be cut. In his final year with the Buffalo Bills in 2019, a contract dispute pushed him out the door. Years later, in July 2025, FOX Sports did something similar, canceling his talk show and letting him go. “Damn, fired on my day off, WELL put me on the trading block,” he joked at the time on X, turning disappointment into a punchline. However, that resilience has always defined him. Just as he bounced back on the field, McCoy is already finding a new spotlight off it.

His latest move, joining Max Kellerman and Mike Coppinger on Inside The Ring, proves that setbacks don’t keep him down for long. First, McCoy reshared a post from Inside The Ring on Instagram. It introduced him as an official host alongside commentators Max Kellerman and Mike Coppinger: “Introducing your official hosts for Inside The Ring! 🍿 Max Kellerman, Mike Coppinger, LeSean McCoy.”

Additionally, McCoy added his own voice to the announcement: “I threw jabs and hooks in sparring, but never professional. I SPEAK FOR THE FANS and THE PEOPLE… INSIDE THE RING biggest weekly boxing show ever assembled. See y’all this weekend… catch us also fight night and every Monday @max_kellerman @mikecoppinger.”

This new role highlights McCoy’s adaptability. After retiring from the NFL in 2021, he has explored multiple paths in sports media. Hosting a boxing show lets him stay close to competition while connecting directly with fans. For context, McCoy’s football career was nothing short of remarkable. He played his college football at Pitt, spending his freshman and sophomore seasons there before being drafted by the Eagles in 2009. Selected in the second round, McCoy played six seasons with the Eagles, from 2009 to 2014, and remains the team’s all-time leading rusher with 6,792 yards.

Moreover, McCoy’s career highlights include leading the NFL in rushing yards (314 carries) and rushing yards (1,607) in 2013. After being traded to the Bills for Kiko Alonso, he played from 2015 to 2018. He later won back-to-back Super Bowls with the Chiefs in 2019 and the Buccaneers in 2020 before retiring. These experiences shaped his perspective and his approach to sports media today.

So, by hosting Inside The Ring, McCoy’s way of continuing to engage audiences will give the fans a superb experience. However, this exciting step comes after a challenging period in McCoy’s media journey. His new role feels even more earned because of what came before.

Fired but unshaken: LeSean McCoy’s exit from FOX

Back in July, McCoy faced an unexpected hurdle. FOX Sports fired him after cancelling his talk show, The Facility. The program, which premiered on September 3, 2024, ended on July 11, 2025, along with several other low-viewership shows. On July 14, McCoy addressed it on Twitter with humor and confidence: “Speak and Facility was a blast. I got some announcements coming soon, but one thing I do know from 🏈 is TALENT & DEDICATION always wins. See u sooooon.” He even compared it to his NFL days with Buffalo.

“My last year with Buffalo we couldn’t see eye to eye on a pay cut, so I asked to be released … lol all my NFL brothas I know ya pain now 😂😂😂😂😂,” McCoy added. Clearly, this episode shows McCoy’s resilience. Despite setbacks, he pivots quickly, turning challenges into opportunities. Hosting Inside The Ring proves that he can transform disappointment into exciting new ventures.

Equally important, McCoy continues to engage fans through his podcast, The 25/10 Show, co-hosted with former Eagles teammate DeSean Jackson. It’s another example of how he blends experience, insight, and personality to stay connected and relevant in sports media. In short, LeSean McCoy proves that talent, dedication, and resilience drive everything he does. From record-breaking rushing yards to delivering knockout commentary, he continues to reinvent himself. Fans can now look forward to his energy in the ring, as he stays true to his roots and speaks for the people he has always represented.
