Ohio State and Urban be troublin'

Does anyone really believe this will cost Urban his job? If so, the #metoo thing is way more powerful than I thought.

I'd go so far as saying Urban would likely keep his job If He was the one beating his wife. Ohio State is not screwing around, and they care. Care about winning, not necessarily other things.

You know I've been thinking about this. Meyer's predecessor, Jim Tressel, had to resign because of the scandal involving Terrell Pryor. tOSU was slammed for two years. Ever since John Cooper was the coach tOSU has had an unsavory reputation. We'll see.
 
So um....... all you dudes in here that posted about Meyer not getting fired, raise your hand.

Dude was just put on administrative leave just now. (With pay)
This is how it starts--- by creating distance between the university and the accused.

My hand may be raising slowly, but he isn't gone yet by a long shot.

If he does get fired, I'll look back in 20 years and think I guess I got old officially Aug 1st 2018. That would be the day that winning and money stopped being number 1 in College football. OMG, just typing that makes me think this can not be the case.
I am puting my hand back down for now. Not willing to admit the world has changed, and I no longer get what drives big money decisions. I bet he hangs on to his job.

Siap.

But i just heard on the radio that Urban Meyer has been put on administrative leave probably paid al. You guys know what this means right? Almost every time a coach gets put on pal he's about to get fired. This is getting bad for Urban Meyer and is about to get worse, a lot worse. Once again siap
 
Not title IX. The coaches wife wasn't involved with the university. There could be issues with the nurses license. Aren't medical professional's supposed to do stuff like that. I also think Shelley Meyer has some unofficial/official unpaid role with the football admin. The fact that there were text messages between the two women could be problematic. If they find evidence of contact with other coaches that could be problematic as well. However if you look at Baylor, Briles is the only one who wasn't able to get a job after the scandal so I don't think it will cost other coaches their jobs.
Hoss-- Shelley Meyer is a full time employee and director at Ohio state's nursing school. She is bound by title 9.

Name one coach that was ever put on administrative leave and came back from it......


I will anxiously wait.
 
Apparently OSU put language in his contract that requires him to report issues like this. That combined with the fact that tressel got fired for players getting free tats basically leaves OSU with very little choice but to fire him.
 
And another thing has crossed my.mind. In regards to Herman, Beck, and tOSU. Using Baylor as an example in regards as to whether Herman, Beck, and the other tOSU coaches. They may go after the head coach and let the everyone else slide. Basically that's what they did at Bayloe and the asst coaches found a job.

Just sayin

I can't. You are likely right. I just can not believe it. The world has changed a lot in the last 2-3 years, college campuses are different from the rest of the world. But wow. Urban Freaking Meyer.
 
there was a time that a college football coach could drive around town with a body in their trunk and be absolutely untouchable. those times are gone forever.

Tim sure got out of that mess quick when Tom came calling...seems to me like both of our coaches hands are clean on this one and got the heck out of there when the opportunity presented it them...

Beck didn’t have a choice about leaving tOSU. Herman just offered him a way to have a dignified exit.

Welcome to the world of a 24 hour news cycle and social media.

Title IX is a civil rights law about equity in education. I teach about it in my education policy class. Explain to me how this deprived the coaches wife of equal access to educational opportunities?

this is a great day to be Jim harbaugh. Not a bad day to be Tom Herman either. With his recruiting chops he should be able to take advantage of this.

Some school is going to get screwed by bowl season. Ohio State, full of Urban 5 star recruits might be the best job in America. They will be getting a big name. If they can Urban.

Yeah. Whst is interesting is there is no obvious “big name” out there this year. There is no Chip Kelly, Urban Meyer type just waiting the year hoping to get back in.

I’d put an early bet on Justin Fuente from Va Tech maybe not a huge name, but the guy can coach his last 4 seasons as a HC he’s went 38-14. Coached under Patterson. I think he’d rock it at one of the power schools like Ohio State.

Ok, as an employee of a university that accepts federal funds, are you not solemnly bound by title 9 laws as an employee? If you do not report any abuse of women, in or out of the work place by any other employee, can you not be held accountable? Like an honor code at a university, if you don't report it, you are just as guilty. Her husband was an employee, how is this not a clear violation? Seriously, I'm not trying to argue with you man, I'm trying to understand. Other news outlets are saying this.
 
Bob stoops waiving.....

I will be interested to see if this starts to resemble the Baylor scandal. By that I mean the Baylor scandal went up to their ad and their school president. One way or another we'll find out if those guys knew about it. It really is a no win situation for them. If they didn't know about it they'll probably keep their jobs but they will look bad because they didn't. If they did know they'll have to resign in disgrace.
 

University policy violation not a Title IX violation. Ohio States Sexual Misconduct policy from HR department.

"This policy may also apply to alleged sexual misconduct that occurs off-campus, including virtual spaces, when the Title IX coordinator or deputy coordinator determines that the alleged sexual misconduct could reasonably create a hostile environment."

Since it was an employee they were supposed to report the misconduct to HR. The person that oversees this in HR also has the title deputy title IX coordinator.They consider domestic violence sexual misconduct. So both Meyers were required to report to Title IX coordinator and that coordinator would have had to make the determination if the domestic violence created a hostile environment on campus. So in this case neither one broke the law but they violated university policy.
 
I'm pretty sure that Meyer has coached his last game at OSU.
I think you may be right. Just put yourself in the shoes of their fans for a minute, that has to suck. Literally one month before the season starts and you find out in one day about all of this and all appearances indicate that your hall of fame coach will probably be gone.
 
I was listening to an interview with Courtney Smith on the way home tonight. Believe me Urban is as guilty as sin. Anyway in that interview she was asked when did the other coaches know about it. She said 2015. If this is right then maybe Coach Herman and Coach Beck didn't have any complicit involvement in this sordid scandal.

Haven't you dealt with Buckeye fans? They're even worse than, well, than you guys. Trash. F*ck those people. Couldn't happen to a better bunch.
 
Wasn't there multiple calls to the police? I'm not defending Meyer but what was his responsibility supposed to be if law enforcement was already involved? Is all this just because he didn't notify the AD or whomever at the University?
