Urban Meyer suspended for 3 games

[YoloinOhio]

What if the offense looks better thru week 3?

 

too soon?

[RaoulDuke79]

That'll learn him.

All this for Zach Freaking Smith. Worst WR coach ever.

Sounds like Urban can't rejoin the team until after the opener, can coach thru the week, but not on game day in weeks 2 and 3... god help Ryan Day

It’s really up to you to decide on here...

[YoloinOhio]

we still don’t know if any DV took place and I’m not sure if any evidence will be in the investigative report... I’m very anxious to read

I’m not really a fan of Smith so if this is a step toward replacing him then I’m fine with it.

I think he will just retire after this year

He clearly doesn’t see her as a victim. Unfortunately, most of America does so that was the wrong thing to say. Need to come up with something better than that.

See ya scum.

 

Can we just kick out the Big 10 East Division out of NCAA athletics, sexual abuse scandals at Penn St. and Michigan St. and DV cover-up at Ohio St. 

 

Yes, well, unlike OSU, PSU and MSU handled their situations.

The fans are treating it the same way with the us versus them. I mean even if Herman told people that Smith abused his wife, who the !@#$ cares. That still means Smith is the POS. I would actually say the Baylor thing was probably just as bad as Penn State. The players there literally beat up a teammate who was going to testify for a victim. 

And if that turned out to not be true?

 

i suppose we shouldn’t dig for motive from coach Herman?

Side note on Herman, which is irrelevant to the investigation but yet interesting to some people - the strip club partner of Zach Smith on the recruiting trip was Tom Herman. The report mentioned it was another OSU coach, but left out his name.

Issue is that no one believes she was abused including her own mother and most importantly the police. This is a highly reputable police department.  It is Ohio law to arrest and press charges for any sign of abuse.  They have responsibility to act.  They could be held liable for doing nothing.  Why hasn't she filed a law suit against police?

 

I agree with the suspension after reading the report, but not for anything DV related.

I'm not sure if this was posted previously, but it provides great insight as to who/what Urban Meyer really is.  Almost makes me like Nick Saban.

Twenty-five players were arrested 31 times during Meyer's tenure at Florida.  Wow.

Hey, man. I'm just going with the spirit of the times here. All women are to be believed automatically, all the time. Ya know?

What sucks is that she may have been abused, we do not know. If she was and Urban knew that he should have fired him regardless of whether he was arrested. But firing him would not have protected her from abuse. It would, however, have protected the program from being associated with his personal issues. But in the end he trusted the police on it and the university believes more should have been done overall to keep this guy in check, regardless of whether any DV actually took place. I agree with that. I don’t think urban should have to monitor every assistant’s personal life but if it spills over into his work (it did, per the report) he needed to take real action and he chose not to, by his own admission, out of loyalty to Zach’s family. Instead he tried to help him with counseling, rehab, etc. i get that but when he’s lying about recruiting visits you have to draw the line. It’s not fireable (for cause, anyway) because the committee found he didn’t violate anything he was required to do.  But I certainly understand some kind of punishment, given the way he runs this program very strictly.... for everyone *but* Zach Smith it appears.
