Texas Coach Tom Herman, a former Ohio State assistant coach, tipped sports reporter Brett McMurphy to details of the Zach Smith-Courtney Carano Smith relationship that led to Smith’s firing, Urban Meyer’s paid-administrative leave and the investigation that has currently engulfed the Buckeyes’ program, several sources told me.

Furthermore, Tom and wife Michelle Herman encouraged Courtney Smith to go public with her claims that her ex-husband had physically abused her, sources say.

“They wanted Zach Smith fired,” one source said. “They had some dirt on him and wanted him off of Ohio State’s staff.”

The Hermans have even helped pay for Courtney Smith’s legal fees, two of my sources told me.

Tom Herman’s motive?

Herman was furious after five-star receiver Garrett Wilson committed to Ohio State in April over Texas, sources say. Wilson played at Austin (Texas) Lake Travis High, just miles from the Longhorns’ campus. Zach Smith was the Buckeyes’ primary recruiter in getting Wilson’s commitment.

Given that Texas is one of the most pressure-packed and highest-profile jobs in the country, and following a 7-6 season in his first year as Texas coach, Herman needs to secure a recruiting base close to home to turn the Longhorns around. And there were no bigger stars in his own city than Wilson.

Herman was hired by Meyer as the offensive coordinator when he accepted the job in December, 2011, along with Smith, Earle Bruce’s grandson, as receivers coach. The two assistants then became very close, but had a falling out after Herman left the Buckeyes following the 2014 national championship season to take the head coaching job at Houston.

“They had a bad falling out and now, they just do not like each other at all,” one source said.
Ironically, they developed into recruiting competitors, specifically for some of the best football talent in the state of Texas. And when Smith won the last head-to-head battle over Wilson’s future, Herman reacted.

More importantly, Michelle Herman and Courtney Smith remained close as their husbands coached at schools more than 1,200 miles apart.

“Best friends, still,” one source said. “They talk almost every day, even though the Hermans have been gone from Columbus for four years.”

Which led Courtney Smith to trust McMurphy, who spoke often with Herman in July, according to his twitter account. As a sports reporter with extensive experience covering college football, McMurphy has developed a close relationship with the second-year Texas coach, sources say.

Tipped by Herman to the 2009 incident in which Zach Smith was arrested in Gainesville, McMurphy then obtained court records and discovered Smith’s arrest. He then spent three days in Columbus and Powell, Ohio, where the Smiths live. There, he interviewed Courtney Smith and obtained text messages and cell phone pictures from her as she told of being physically abused by her then husband. The Smiths were married in 2008 when Zach Smith was a graduate assistant under Meyer at the University of Florida.

Herman denied knowing any details about the Ohio State investigation, or the details that led up to it, as recently as August 2 when asked at a press conference in Austin.

Meyer and his wife Shelley Meyer recently became aware that Herman was the tipster who connected McMurphy to Courtney Smith.

Told by the university not to comment on anything to do with the investigation, Urban Meyer has remained silent since issuing a statement August 3. However, Shelley Meyer responded to a text message asking for comment.

“I really do appreciate you doing your job with integrity and checking on all the points, unlike some others,” Shelley said, via text Saturday afternoon. “I just can’t comment and I am very sorry. Thank u.”

So far, attempts to reach the Hermans have been unsuccessful. Tom Herman is currently in the middle of coaching the Longhorns during summer camp.

McMurphy should never got a job again after this debacle. He's already fucked up enough the way it is. If it does end up being true about what the mothers both said, he will have egg on his face the likes of which no journalist may have ever known.

New to modern media are you?

There is no chance he doesn't get a job again after this unless there is some sort of proof he intentionally fabricated something, which I seriously doubt happened.

These guys make their bread and butter off 'scoops' anymore. It's about contacts. Lots and lots of contacts willing to dish out info on the down low to you before others. When you have that you make a fortune. There really aren't media outlets in the country anymore that care deeply about the integrity of what they report, just that it's out by them before anyone else. The push to be first by default means you can't spend a lot of extra diligence making sure it's absolutely correct. Being first is ALL that matters.

He's going to be the rock star for it.

Well, except for OSU fans. They will give the middle finger to him and that site forever.

Hey, I'm just glad you managed to take a jab at me without using your homophobic rhetoric for a change.

I have a question.

If you don't like homophobes, are you homophobophobic?

No, it's cut and pasted directly from his FB page. Thanks for asking.

McMurphy is throwing haymakers today toward the Ohio St media spin.

Facebook is funny as well. I haven’t had a Facebook account in 4-5 years. I’d rather get my news on tHoop or 247 Bucknuts

Appears initial reports were incorrect.

Nope, just butt hurt over losing recruiting battles to Urban in Texas.

I've seen people question a time or two why the alleged victim in this case would have waited 3 years and I get why she might have.

Did Tom Herman sit on this information for 3 years?

This is why you slow the fuck down and wait for actual reports by actual investigators.
Texas coach Tom Herman calls Facebook report about helping Brett McMurphy ‘absolutely untrue’ | Hookem.com

This OSU hack has just been blown the fuck up for claiming he had verified Herman was the source, and in fact was not. This leaves anything/everything he said in his prior report more than suspect.

Stop blindly trusting hacks from the internet. Just because they are selling you something you want to believe doesn't mean it's true.

Jeff Snook is a full fledged journalist, he isn't an internet hack, which makes this all the more strange. He is an Ohio St grad though, so I think he is burying his career because of fucking football fandom. Stupid...

He wrote a book or something, but no one has ever heard of him. There are 'journalists' on bleacher report too, but most of us are smart enough to consider the source and not blindly follow them either.

There is no case where I'm taking a report written on someone's facebook page at face value. Not McMurphy, not this hack, not anyone. There's no editorial board review or name brand to protect. It's just not smart to take them as fact until they are vetted.

IMHO, this is an important and differentiating factor in a lot of journalism. If there is no one to hold journalists accountable, they can spew shit all day long and not suffer any consequences.

Kind of like politicians.
