Dan says in the NBC Sports conference call that he wanted to work for Dick Ebersol and do the Olympics, then the NFL came up. Dan adds that he had wanted to work with Bob Costas and is looking forward to working with Cris Collinsworth who he considers the best NFL analyst.

Ebersol says Costas had much to do with bringing Dan on board as anyone.
