Meyer is getting screwed

[Across The Field]

And like there were no signs of his behavior before that. lol
Hey your coach abused his wife but she doesn't want to press charges. Urban- Oh OK tell him to be back at work Monday.
You'd think after him getting arrested in 2009 any hint of that would have had him gone.

So he's arrested and never charged in 09. Nearly 6 years go by with no signs of anything. There are allegations made again but no arrests. She called the cops 66 times in a 90 day span. Are you simply choosing to believe that this is all Zach Smith being a monster and she is 100% innocent and not batshit crazy at all, and that Urban is at fault for some unknown reason?

Do you have any real evidence on this 66 times in 90 days? Or are you still going by the anonymous OSU fan, err “family friend” that posted on an OSU blog?

I will say that you're right about media being easily manipulated to an extent, but if that actually turns out to be the case here and what came out about her yesterday is 100% true, McMurphy cannot work again. It's a bad look considering he was fired last year and hasn't really worked since. He calls himself an investigative journalist, and he's already messed up once pretty badly with this "investigation", not to mention the fact that he published an article by only getting one person's side even though there were evidently dozens of people involved. I just can't respect him after that, and if this was all a scheme by her, he has to be done.

Sadly it won't kill his career. Right now it's more about page views than honest journalism. That's where we are. He has a job already lined up and is only waiting for his ESPN contract to run out to take it.

I'm not all that sure he had any real cred to begin with, but he has sources that give him early leads and really that's all you need to get a job these days. There's no chance a lawsuit against him would happen and that would be the only drawback to his future employment opportunities. If there's no liability to bogus reports and it still brings you clicks you aren't going to not bring him in.

I'd take a step back from that line given the claims of the OSU hack reporter.

IF those stories are even half way true it would make sense that claims of her abuse would get ignored.

This whole entire story is in a wait and see state.

There's defiantly some weird ass shit going on there including the police who didn't seen to arrest anyone for anything and shes no angel for sure but he married her and had a kid with her. At some point Urban should have put a stop to that clown show.

The gutless coward Across The Field calls Zach Smith a POS but will NOT cite proven examples of why.

If everything he says about the victim and McMurphy is true shouldn't he be rallying for Zach to keep his job?

Didn't this last report by the OSU guy say it was something like 6 in 90 days, not 66? I admit it was a hell of a long ass article and I only skimmed it, but I thought it had something MUCH smaller than 66. I've thought that number sounded entirely bogus from day 1.

No . She got issues . Most women who stay with men like that do. At some point it's both of them. I'm willing to bet if you take half of what she says and half of what he says and you're closer to the truth. But shes not working for Urban. He is and all this would and did come back to bite Urban in the ass.

If even her own parents are calling her out (again, a big IF right now) and everyone around her has really said she told them she was going to make this up to get back at him for cheating on her it doesn't take a stretch to see how Meyer and the school could ignore her claims and just view Zack as a unfortunate ex of a whack job.

She was granted a restraining order, she was granted a personal protection order (which is extremely difficult to get in Ohio) — so they don’t need any other info. The fact she didn’t follow thru with charges means absolutely nothing. A ton of abuse victims do the exact same thing, thinking the person will change or that they can change the person. Sometimes they don’t follow thru because of embarrassment or the fact they are scared of what he will do to her if she does follow thru. Sometimes the victim has personal friends of the HC who convince her not to file charges because the accused would never be able to coach again.

The reason you can’t find anyone disproving the report of these personal protection orders is simple. They were granted.

And you can continue to bring up ridiculous claims of wrongful termination, but they can fire the guy for any reason they’d like. For crying out loud — he was your WR coach and should have been fired for how piss poor your WR’s have been with all the talent you’ve had.

You continue to make excuses and try to find loopholes to justify the ignorance.

And the OSU athletic department is only making itself look like clowns as a report just came out that OSU’s AD just took a week vacation in the middle of the investigation. Seriously? I hope they fire that person just for that.

Yeah have you found any evidence of that yet? Any proof outside of McMurphy's shoddy report? Because according to the Powell PD in a phone call with Zach Smith that was played yesterday on 105.7 in Columbus, he was told there wasn't one.

The personal protection order is also being challenged right now because Zach is basically refuting everything Courtney told the judge about his behavior, and that investigation is still pending.

Based on the story that came out yesterday from the two mothers, I think you need to take a step back from your thoughts on the subject because it's looking more and more like you're basing your opinions on lies.

Again....So why are you calling Zach Smith a POS instead of rallying for an innocent man's job?

I 100% agree, I think the truth here lies somewhere in the middle. I think they're both fucked up individuals. However, it's still being absolutely blown out of proportion blaming Urban. If you found out a guy you know hit his wife, would your first thought be "I can't believe he wasn't fired", or would it be "What's happening with their family and what are the cops doing"?

Yeah but that would involve some sort of investigation wouldn't it? It sounds like they never looked into it at all. If shes acting nuts don't you also look at the husband and think he could be doing something he's not telling us?

 

[Red_Alert]

No you didn't. You keep avoiding the question.

Cite proven examples of why Zach Smith is a POS. You called him that.

It would depend on my relationship with the couple and what he does for a living. I know a couple where there was abuse (she is a family friend) and the husband was a cop and yes a lot of the talk is about him possibly losing his job so everyone wondered if she would press charges because the minute she did he was done as a cop. If he was a self employed electrician what ever came of it wouldn't impact his job or ability to make money. There are jobs where your behavior makes the company look bad and you will get canned.

Not from the blog, no.

Well, that's a little different. I think we can both agree that cops should be looked at differently than football coaches. Cops' jobs are to protect people.

Look I agree it's their marriage and if shes so fucked up she wants to stay with the guy for six years just to get back at him well go for it. But he's got a job where pubic perception is a big part of it. he's on a coaching staff and his behavior makes Urban look bad because when people started digging they found a shady past. It's not Urbans job to police his coaches marriages but once this kinda stuff keeps happening he should have told Smith the next time cops have to go to your house thats it. Thats talk should have taken place in 2015
