Urban Meyer trending on Twitter. Ohio State FB coach

[irisblue]

He apparently knew one of his coaches was a wife beating creep, and lied about it.

Clay Travis (@ClayTravis) Tweeted:
Urban Meyer has been caught lying about his knowledge of a former assistant coach's alleged domestic abuse & I believe Ohio State is going to have to fire him. These details are damning, much worse than Jim Tressel: https://t.co/UdmXW8bsYV

Text messages I have obtained, an exclusive interview w/the victim & other information I have learned shows Ohio State coach Urban Meyer knew in 2015 of domestic abuse allegations against a member of his coaching staff despite his denial last week https://t.co/fcxi8GKyeI

Zach Smith was a public employee, hired to be a coach, leader, role model for 18-22 year old students. If Urban Meyer continued to employ him knowing he was a serial domestic abuser—and therefor unfit for that job—Urban Meyer deserves to be fired and will be fired.

This is important to keep in mind. Wherever the reporting takes this situation, it is not because of a conspiracy against Urban Meyer or Ohio State. This is @Brett_McMurphy, a top-notch journalist, doing his job. Certainly others will join in that effort now. https://t.co/czNRBHOr4G

1. If true, he better be fired FOR CAUSE and not receive a penny of his remaining contract

He will, of course, probably get a bunch of it, as well as a new job at another big-time college program after a year or two because that's how morally bankrupt NCAA football is.

3. I googled, his salary is $4 million. I don't think that includes his endorsements.

OSU Athletic Department isn't having a quiet summer.

2. republican Jim Jordan will rise to his defense.

Because, scumbucket republican "values" is why.

4. Any group of guys working together, you know who the creeps, assholes, drunks or whatever

are.

Remember when McConnell and some of the top Republicans said Roy Moore should drop out of the race when the allegations of his molesting young girls came out? I bet it took McConnell or one of the others one phone call to confirm that was true, or probably true. If it even took that. One of the Alabama Congressmen may have already known all about it. I'm still kind of surprised Trump and the rest changed tunes and ended up backing him.

5. As a Ohio Buckeye resident I say Urban isn't going anywhere.

They knew who they were getting.

6. If he knew it for a fact, he should be fired. Correct me if I'm wrong, but from what I read at most

he was aware of allegations!

7. There is a lot of noise & chatter & news right now.

I cannot imagine how it was to have a guy you worked with come into your office and tell you, "I beat up my wife & I was arrested."

8. He must be fired.

Disclaimer I'd like Michigan to beat Ohio State someday soon.

12. The only way ttun has a chance of beating Ohio State is for Urban to get canned, and having the

Cheerleaders replace the Buckeye starting lineup. And then it’s questionable!

10. And he had to leave Florida because of a brain issue.

There is a reason these institutions love Meyer. He is as aggressive as it gets when it comes to recruiting and few are able to pull money from boosters like he is. He is also really good at keeping truly heinous behavior under wraps. We had multiple players under his system at UF who had student escorts. Not for safety. Just to make sure they didn't go astray. Many still went astray. It is my understanding he was even fully aware of what Hernandez was into before coming to UF.

14. His buyout is over $38 million.

He's not going anywhere.
