Skip Bayless’ time as ESPN’s most controversial pundit is almost at an end, and the network is searching for someone to replace him on “First Take.” Many ESPN personalities have been bandied about as a potential replacement, with some more likely to take up the job than others.

ESPN commentator Jemele Hill is currently featured alongside Michael Smith on the talk show “His & Hers.” She pulled out of the contender pool for Bayless’ spot on Twitter, saying that moving to “First Take” would be “not a promotion for me.”

ESPN radio host and “Highly Questionable” star Bomani Jones also publicly declined interest in the job, saying that he lives in Miami and would not move to New York to do “First Take.”
