what happened to jim miller on sirius radio

Jim Miller is no longer on SiriusXM NFL Radio’s Movin’ the Chains as of early February 2026, but no official public reason has been given so far.

What actually happened

  • On February 9, 2026, co‑host Pat Kirwan told listeners that Jim Miller would no longer be on Movin’ the Chains and was no longer associated with SiriusXM NFL Radio, without giving any explanation.
  • Fans began noticing that Miller was suddenly missing from Super Bowl week coverage, even though he had just been on air during the Senior Bowl in Alabama.
  • SiriusXM has not released a formal statement explaining why he left or whether he was fired, reassigned, or simply not re‑signed.

What listeners and forums are saying

Public discussion so far is mostly speculation:

  • Some SiriusXM listeners on Reddit say they only heard the brief on‑air note that he was “no longer a member of the SiriusXM team,” with no further detail.
  • Others guess it might be a contract issue (for example, a contract ending around February 1 and the sides not agreeing on terms), but they emphasize that this is just a guess, not confirmed info.
  • Many posts focus on appreciation for Miller’s work, calling Movin’ the Chains one of the best shows on NFL Radio and saying the show won’t feel the same without him.

“This is disappointing. He was fantastic, and I'm uncertain about what went wrong.”

“I sincerely hope this wasn’t a case of Jim seeking appropriate compensation and being dismissed.”

What is known vs. unknown

Known:

  • Jim Miller is no longer on Movin’ the Chains and is no longer part of the SiriusXM NFL Radio team as of February 2026.
  • The change appears abrupt from a listener’s point of view, happening between the Senior Bowl and Super Bowl week.

Unknown (no confirmed info yet):

  • Whether SiriusXM terminated his contract, chose not to renew it, or if Miller chose to leave.
  • Any personal or disciplinary reasons behind the decision, if there are any.

Because there is no official explanation from SiriusXM or Miller himself in public sources yet, any detailed story about “why” would be speculative and not verified.

TL;DR:
Jim Miller quietly exited SiriusXM NFL Radio’s Movin’ the Chains in early February 2026 after Pat Kirwan announced on air that Miller was no longer with SiriusXM, and as of now no public, official reason has been shared; fan forums largely speculate about contract or business issues but nothing has been confirmed.
