First Take host didn't hold back when talking about Tide's recent struggles.
“It looks like they hired the wrong guy,” Smith said. “They should gone and got Dan Lanning from Oregon.”“It’s bad,” he added. “Not only do they have two losses in the last three weeks, they should’ve lost to South Carolina. They should’ve lost three straight. I’m very disgusted. ...Lanning’s name connected to the Alabama opening after Nick Saban retired, but the Oregon coach shut down that talk in January.
“If you’re scared your coach is leaving then come play for us. The Ducks aren’t going anywhere and I’m not leaving,”Lanning, who was a GA for Saban in 2015 and worked for Kirby Smart at Georgia, was a logical candidate. Lanning’s name had floated to the top of most sportsbooks accepting odds on the new hire.
The Crimson Tide hasn’t lost twice before the end of October since 2007, Saban’s first year. Trying to recover from that will be tough with No. 19 Missouri and No. 8 LSU on the schedule.. He can be heard on “The Opening Kickoff” on WNSP-FM 105.5 FM in Mobile or on the free Sound of Mobile App from 6 to 9 a.m. daily.
