Chris Carlin isn't going anywhere, Rutgers fans.

While reports are that Carlin might soon be taking over the most desired sports talk radio microphone in the country, sources told NJ Advance Media that Carlin is expected to stay as the play-by-play announcer for Rutgers football if he is part of a new show on WFAN 660-AM.

Newsday reported that an announcement is expected Tuesday naming Carlin and former Jets star Bart Scott as co-hosts for a show that will debut in January as the replacement for the iconic ranting Mike Francesa during the afternoon drive on 660-AM.

New York Daily News reported that Maggie Gray will join the duo for a three-person show. She works SI Now and CBS Sports Radio.

Francesa's final show is set for Dec. 15.

Carlin, who authored the famous "Pandemonium in Piscataway" call for the 2006 Rutgers-Louisville game, has been part of Rutgers football radio broadcasts since 2001 and the play-by-play broadcaster since 2004.

The Chatham native also was the voice of Rutgers men's basketball from 2008-16 before handing it over to Jerry Recco, another voice tied to WFAN.

A former WFAN intern who climbed the ranks to producer for the "Mike and the Mad Dog" show with Francesa and Chris Russo, Carlin remained part of the Rutgers fabric while maintaining jobs as a Mets studio host at SNY and in his current role as a sports talk show host in Philadelphia.

The "Carlin and Reese" show airs from 2-6 p.m. weekdays on WIP 94.1-FM. It debuted in November 2016, but Carlin, former Rutgers and Jets quarterback Ray Lucas and the multi-talented Eric LeGrand remain in a three-way booth on the Rutgers Football Radio Network.

Carlin's wife, Sheryl Spain, works in the Rutgers student-athlete development office, and the couple donated $10,000 to the athletic department's Big Ten Build $100 million fundraising initiative.

"Rutgers has done a lot for me. Let's be honest," Carlin told NJ Advance Media in February 2016. "It's given me an opportunity to do what I love."

WFAN also is looking for a host to replace Craig Carton on its morning show.

Rutgers, the Big Ten and Seton Hall don't get much air time on WFAN. Perhaps that will change will Carlin at the mic.
