I think the calls for Gene's head are way unfounded at this point in time. If OSU proves that Urban and Gene turned everything over to HR, then what? Still going to call for Gene's head? I can tell you right now, only Central HR has the power to fire someone at OSU, not Gene, not Urban. Even then, what if Gene decided, as a Senior Official of the University, that all these claims didn't rise to HR action, or maybe even they put ZSmith on a written warning, then what? Still Gene's fault? For what? Right now they are trying to figure out if Urban and the coaching staff knew anything more damning that what had been reported to Administration.
Based on Urban's statement yesterday, it's clear he tried to play coy at Media days and was only referring to the supposed "arrest" that never happened, hoping that it would all go away in a few days.
