Ok but after the first time in Florida you have all those incidents listed above going on in Columbus involving his wife and I'm sure they left out some that the husband did and you constantly hear about these two getting into it with each other and you never bring it up, have them either go to counseling or something with the threat of being fired.
The coaches all hang out and the wives do too. It sounds like there was plenty of knowledge about this couples toxic relationship. Is the bar only at getting arrested? That's the only time you step in as his boss?

A couple drinks and argues a lot and the boss is supposed to solve that? You're grasping, Jim.

Then I can see how it would be difficult to grasp!

I'm not sure where shane got the image from, but it's a list of bullet points about Zach and Courtney Smith allegedly from someone with inside information that casts a fair amount of doubt on the whole thing.

I'd type them here so you could see them, but I'm lazy and don't really care enough.

Maybe you can see the list in shane's original post here.

Okay...that does cast some doubt, but it's not enough to make a decision on one way or the other at this point. I think OSU is doing the right thing and letting due diligence run its course.

It would be against employment law to say you are going to be fired if you don't go to counseling. I can recommend counseling to an employee, but I cannot force it or check to find out if they are in counseling.

I do want to state if Ohio State can prove Urban knew he should be let go. And I think regardless of that he should resign for the good of the University.

Totally agree. That list could be made up bullshit from a tOSU fan, but it could also be true.

I have no idea what will or should happen because I don't have all the information.

Edit: Based on what I know now

Look at the situation Urban is in. You don't think somewhere he could have done himself a favor and gotten rid of the guy or had him get some kinda help so it doesn't come back to bite him. Plenty of people seem to have been aware of this couples toxic relationship. If you set the bar of well we only step in if someone gets arrested you leave yourself open for something like this.

Neither one of us has any idea what Meyer did or did not do in regards to the Smith's relationship. One of us is pretending they do, the other isn't; can you guess which is which?

Coaches get fired for all kinds of reasons and if they wanted to avoid the stink of a lawsuit they can still pay his contract and then let him go and there's not much he could do. You're not owed a job.

Well we are where we are right. So far nothing has come out about what Urban did. What we do know is when asked he acted like this was the first he's heard of the situation. So who's pretending?
And didn't that coach get fired recently? So they did find a way. You make it sound like it was impossible to fire the guy.

You're pretending.

Meyer didn't spill private details of an ex-employee's marriage to the media. Big fucking deal.

So while we're waiting for all the facts of this case to come out...






















































Is there a statue of him somewhere that I can tear down?

You sounded like he didn't know the private details. So he knew but never said anything to people at the school. And that's why he's in trouble.

The woman might be nuts the husband might be an asshole but Urban could have handled it better and he wouldn't be in this situation. Do we just blame the wife? Just the husband? Or Urban for not seeing this situation could bite him in the ass?
