Fans want Courtney Cronin to remain on as the host of ESPN’s ‘First Take’ following recent appearances on the show.
Cronin has been filling in for Stephen A Smith lately and has struck a chord with viewers as she has put her football knowledge on display.
While she’s unlikely to replace Smith, even if that’s what fans might want, there’s always the possibility of her having more time on the air, which should be satisfactory enough.
See you on ESPN 2! @FirstTake

The outspoken analyst could be in line for a new four-year deal that would pay him up to $25 million a year and make him the company’s first $100 million television talent.
‘First Take’ his main gig, appears to be in great hands, and not just because Cronin is around now. Pro Football Hall of Famer Shannon Sharpe has become one of the network’s biggest draws, while the likes of Molly Qerim, Chris Russo, Ryan Clark, and Kendrick Perkins are all ESPN stars in their own right.
Courtney Cronin: “How does JJ Redick maintain his composure when dealing with adversity? And I think you all know what I’m getting at here, is he dropping F-bombs the way that he did in his introductory press conference? That wasn’t a good look… it wasn’t a good look for… pic.twitter.com/O1X1JX3Qkj
