He revealed back in April that he was among those that was being laid off by the sports conglomerate.
Poured my heart and soul into ESPN for last 8 years. Moved my wife and 3 kids to CT to go "all in" 5 years ago. Bummed it ended in 3 minutes

But totally get it. All part of a business that is rapidly changing. Thankful for the opportunity I was given and people I got to work with!

Kanell had been with ESPN for eight years, and he had recently become one of the prominently featured analysts on ESPN for their college football coverage. Kanell was often on multiple shows throughout ESPN's week-to-week coverage, all in addition to his work as a co-host on the Russillo & Kanell radio show that was often simulcast on ESPN 2.
Kanell's partner on that show, Ryen Russillo, stayed with the company.
