Shots were fired on Monday as lead ESPN hot-taker Stephen A. Smith returned fire against ESPN lead college football analyst Kirk Herbstreit after the latter accused Smith of trying to get Ohio State head football coach Ryan Day fired.
“‘First Take’ tried to fire him. They thought he was done. So I’ll be excited to see what they talk about on Monday after this performance,” Herbstreit added. “They had him out — been trying to find replacements. But here he is! He’s still got his hat on. Still coaching.”“If they had lost that game, you’re damn right. I would have been on national television right before Christmas; Ryan Day got to go. But he handled his business,” Smith said.
