Is Urban out? I'm not in town so idk what the local media is saying, but from DC it's not looking good.

[Otis Nice]

Just came to make a post about this. Doesn't look good.

 

Think we can get Tressel back?

[Geeesammy]

"...Courtney Smith said, adding that she was never told that Shelley Meyer had told the coach about the allegations at the time"

 

He will make it out alive but not unscathed. Call this season even more of a bust now

[Sully]

A buddy of mine that works down there says it's a mad-house right now. He was just asked to leave the area and has seen Gene Smith come and go as well as a lot of other people.

[Sully]

"...Courtney Smith said, adding that she was never told that Shelley Meyer had told the coach about the allegations at the time"

And she's claiming that she told other assistant coach's wives as well. You think all of them never said anything to their husbands? This is going to get real ugly.

[o0n8]

He gone.

 

(just my opinion)

[Orion]

Unless Shelley Meyer comes out and says to the world that she never told Urban because she KNEW that he would fire Zach....he gone. Either by resignation or firing. And if he DID know about this shit, then he deserves to get canned.

 

It's 2018, y'all. The only parson who can disrespect women like that and get away with it is your president.

[DKilbourne]

Is there proof that Smith's ex wife told anyone? Who knows. She probably asked for a pay off and when she didn't get it, she went to the media with her "story". I wonder how much she got for her interview. He wont be gone unless there is proof of a cover up.

[Lauren]

Roll tide. Can't wait for football to start and see Tua sling TD's.

 

Oh yeah I think urban will have a heart condition here shortly

There's all kind of text messages floating around right now

You are letting your emotion rule over the logic of the situation

 

If you are to believe Courtney Smith and the "accusations" then here is a list of people who knew and did nothing, or not enough I guess.

 

Gainesville PD

Gainesville DA

U of Florida

Earle Bruce

Urban Meyer

Shelly Meyer

Powell PD

Delaware DA

Asst Coach wives

Her parents

His parents

OSU

Her attorneys

his attorneys

Divorce Judge

 

Now that is a lot of "collusion", swamp level haha.

 

I am not trying to marginalize Courtney and what she apparently is having to go through, however let the facts evolve and come out. Stop with the pitch fork emotions and lets break this down. Some of it looks damning, but much or it seems counter to the law/facts/OSU's knowledge.

 

I would hope Urban is not dumb enough to try and Jerry Sandusky level bury something, if he did he deserves to go down with the ship.

If any are directly to Meyer, then that's an issue. Otherwise, good luck proving that he knew. I doubt that he was in the dark on it, but that's an opinion not a fact.

[Lauren]

From the brief listening on the fan today, there is messages between Urbana wife and Courtney. Urbana wife saying she will have to tell urban and Courtney saying that's OK. Something to that effect

[Brandon]

Edit: Urb on administrative leave while they investigate...Still doesn't mean he buried it or is guilty yet, the university is going to separate him while they determine what is happening clearly and that it the right move.

[1Quik7]

Les Miles is our new coach. Prepare yourselves.

[Bigbird]

Dang I take the kids to the pool and it all goes down. IDK if you can fire him without proof, but this is 2018 and the social climate is very different.

[10phone2]

ole Gene Smith needs to go. Buddy of mine at work is on Weber's instagram and apparently he is on his 2nd brand new dodge charger. Wonder if the car stuff is going to come up again adventually.

I told my friends that it is Gene's turn to go under it. Tressel took one for the team before. Smith will be under fire before Urban.

[RedRocket1647545505]

This social climate we're in drives me nuts. I get that he's held to a higher standard, but it ain't like ole Urb slapped the lady. If it meant that much to her, then go to the police (and maybe she did). Urb's job is to be a head coach at OSU, not a marriage councilor.

 

I hope it works out in his favor. We've got championships to win.

[SpaceGhost]

Vegas has the line at -200 for Urban being fired and -150 for him resigning. Sooooooo...

Agree 110%

This just stinks.....all of it....smells like she tried to extort more money from him because she ran out of her plastic Surgey, porcelain veneers, stupid shit etc money fund and when she didn’t get it, she went to the Media.

 

Source: former players/friends, coaching staff friends etc that know this situation better than me.

 

Let’s see how this turns out. I hate to see physical abuse (he should have been canned and charged if he abused her) but extortion was the form of abuse she was able to wield to get back at him.

[10phone2]

It's ironic you said that. Tonight I thought, isn't it ironic that as soon as the rumblings from the past start that she calls the police on him. It's almost as if she wanted to fuck him over or was angling for something. It could also be polar opposite, that he beat her for years.

[1Quik7]

Per 11Warriors, the guy had some serious issues, how was Urban supposed to know about all the Police encounters? I bet someone at OSU knew well before Urban..Smith shoulda been canned long ago for being so unstable.
