He should go the Terrelle Pryor route: "everybody's abused somebody or somethin'"

The simple question is this, what if this was someone in your family? Would you be defending Urban here? Pretty gross how some are willing to justify this just because he's your football coach.

At least MSU fans went, "yeah, this is gross" when the stuff started coming out about their administration.

So a Notre Dame fan wants Ohio State to fire their coach because he “covered up” a domestic assault by not making it public, but Brian Kelly is still employed with what he has done at Notre Dame. Amusing.

Is this directed at me? I've been steadfast that Kelly should have been fired.

You should have stopped at the bolded part.
You're pretty disgusting. You want to keep someone who's covered up serious domestic violence allegations just because you want the team you follow to beat them in a game.

Had Urban gone to the police with this information, maybe he would have been.
What information? The police were call, she called 911. What more information did Meyer have?

Nice spin. But yes, it's wrong for a head coach to knowingly employ someone who's a wife abuser and hide that information from the public -- to the point where he's openly lying about it during press conferences. If he did nothing wrong, then there's no reason to lie last week.

You know, this statement kinda bugs me a bit. Not at you, but
society in general. (Politically correct crap)

Why does the public need to know what's going on in that guy's
life? The wife could have had him locked up. Pressed charges.
Divorced him. I don't think she did any of those things. At least
not then.

It's between the man and woman. Nobody has a say in it.

Now...if the guy works for a marriage consultant, he probably
does need to be fired. But he's a football coach. What does that
have to do with coaching? Especially when you factor in the types
of players that are recruited. The coach can relate to them.

We have this great urge to dictate how everybody else should
run their life. I don't like that.

The guy obviously has a master's degree, or he wouldn't be coaching, and now the rest of the world has ordered his life to
be ruined. He'll never be able to hold a high profile job again.

People get ten years for manslaughter. An asst football coach
beat his wife and he gets life. That doesn't seem right.

Urban Meyer, carrying out a long OSU tradition:

Woody Hayes...fired
Earle Bruce...fired
John Cooper...fired
Jim Tressel...fired
Urban Meyer...
Is this story Michigans biggest win of the decade?

We've seen the texts and the interview and there is no proof yet that Urban knew of allegations, let alone that he knew for a fact that she had been abused.
I'm 99% sure Urban was told something by his wife.

Typically no one does. But in this particular case - they're coaches at major universities - PUBLIC universities. By default they are in the limelight. As mentioned, if most people were involved in something like this they'd be fired in an instant by their employer. What's more annoying is that we treat these public facing people differently than your average employee because they win football games and make money.

So you are saying that Meyer should go to the police and say "Zach denied everything"? How does that add to the investigation since 911 was already called.

"I got a text in 2015. There was nothing - I don't know who creates a story like that" - Urban Meyer, known scumbag.

These were multiple incidents over a period of years. It was consistent abuse, not a single instance. If cops were called once, that doesn't account for the countless abuses over the years -- all of which Urban knew about and did nothing; and then boldly lied about.
