Ohio State and Urban be troublin'

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?
I believe your last sentence sums it up on Meyer AND his wife
 
No laws were broken on the Meyers part. This is purely about ethics and the Ohio State brand. It looks like Urban turned a blind eye to domestic abuse and things like that just aren't tolerated anymore.

And I think that is a positive development in society. People who cover that up imo are as guilty as the ones who actually do it.
 
the problem here as I see it is that one NEVER knows what rabbit hole we are going down whenever something like this comes up. I am not advocating one way or another as I am not qualified ( like that ever stopped me from commenting) to comment on it.

It is easy and perhaps correct to bring out the pitch forks and torches on Urban Meyer over this, but be careful what you wish for. Everyone has something in their past that may have been an after thought when it occurred but becomes a big deal at some point in the future.Perhaps it should have been a big deal at that time or perhaps not. Today it is Meyer in the spotlight, tomorrow perhaps Tom Herman or Lincoln Riley or who knows?

All I know is that it will not be some loser coach at some school no one ever heard of ( you know, like the OOC schools aTm schedules) because no one cares.

What I am saying is we all had better start thinking about every jilted girl friend, every guy we fired, anyone we ever bullied no matter how long ago it happened

I'll never understand why someone would cover up something like this and risk their own career which feeds your family for some dumbass that could careless about you.
 
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.

Yes, Herman was on Meyer's staff and this WR coach was directly under him. Wrs coach wife not only texted Shelly Meyer about the incident but also "several other coaches wives over an extended period of time.....".

Fun fact--- Shelley Meyer is a registered nurse who is employed by Ohio state university medical hospital. If she was aware of the abuse and did not report it to proper authorities, that boys is a TITLE IX VIOLATION. Then the feds step in. This is going to be bad.

That incident was in October 2015. Herman was at UH starting in January of ‘15.
 
Wouldn't hold my breath on that one. He badmouthed UT's offense pretty good upon his commitment to tOSU. There was also a photo of him doing the Horns down on his recruiting visit to Norman. Once that happens, chances are not likely.

Yeah screw that. Oh well, with all the WRs we're getting, we certainly don't need him. Hell, Jordan Whittington and Jake Smith are both every bit as good, if not better than him anyway.

Give me a big Dylan Wright or Elijah Higgins as a 4th WR in this class and I'll be ecstatic.

Yes, we all have a past.


But I can assure you, my past doesn't include me beating women or turning a blind eye to some a$$hole that did.
 
What about Les Miles?
Ohio state will have to hire someone who is scandal free.... or at least has a reputation of handling problems accordingly. Miles has a reputation of being a river boat gambler both on and off the field..... not to mention, he went to that school up north that hates Ohio state.

Miles won't be the answer. Stoops is about as far as Ohio state can go in terms of character.

Mack brown would be a good choice. A good steward he would be. Row the damn boat guy is a possibility.
 
Yeah, he's going to get paid somewhere. He won't be sticking around Ames sadly for them.
 
I hope they don’t try to hire Matt Campbell. I like the way ISU team has been improving. Great choice if he’s interested.
I'm betting this investigation drags on long enough that hiring a coach for this season is out of the question. Depending on how the team plays under the interim coach, and assuming urban gets canned, they will probably name a ew coach the day the season is over.

If gets fired, they won't find someone they want until after bowl season. Unless they can find someone out of coaching ranks or maybe a pro coach. Otherwise, you get into a Scott Frost situation who's being loyal to his current team getting them ready for a bowl game.
 
Metcalf did I say something to pi** you off?
I was going to post something and changed my mind. You're a good dude.

Btw when we last to tOSU in Austin a few years ago in Austin they showed a picture of this girl in the tOSU band. She looked semi literate which made me wonder that you don't have to be smart to get into tOSU. That's what I meant to post the first time.

I agree with Moses I hope Matt Campbell stays in Ames. Because of him I'm paying close attention to ISU. I think he can be the Bill Snyder of ISU and I think he would be an asset to our conference of he stays.
 
Herman's presser has started and LHN is showing some stupid little league game. The first several questions were regarding Meyer and abuse and asked him if he knew. His response was--

"It's against my policy to comment on other universities...."

That's an answer the lawyers told him to give. I promise you. What he didn't say was "Fvck no I didn't know about it because if I did, I'd have kicked his a$$!".

The fact that he didn't categorically deny knowing about it is not the best look.

Being objective.

Dammit. Sorry man. Thought you were trying to equate me with the buckeye trash I was talking about because of what I said about Mack Brown.
