It's still a huge gamble to hire someone to do a job they've never done before.
Smart may turn out to be an awesome head coach or a terrible one or anywhere in between, he's an unknown. One can be a great assistant and a terrible HC. HC has an entirely different set of responsibilities and things to deal with.
It's much safer and smarter to get a proven successful head coach.

I think the reasoning behind the Smart promotion is that Saban has a vast process currently in place that affects not only the players, but the whole whole programs infastructure. Some may want to see if Smart can keep/maintain that infastructure. He is a great recruiter. So in 3 years or so if it is apparent that he can't keep it going, then we go out and hire a proven coach (who doesn't have to be the guy replacing Saban, which is some big shoes to fill), and they would still be coming into a fully stacked roster.

IF rumors are true, & Saban Moves into the AD position when retires from coaching, what proven coach would want to work for Saban?
