Urban Meyer having chest pains
Chest pains report unconfirmed following this report.
He's trending on twitter, and most everyone is taking the under as to if he makes it to kickoff for the 2018 season now. |

The University may see it in a whole different light and find a reason to fire him anyway. That's their prerogative. I'm just saying what I'd do if it was up to me. From a business stand point his decisions have brought the school considerably more good than bad.

As the public face of one of the nation's largest universities, simply winning football games isn't his only job requirement. Larry Eustachy got fired for drinking beers with college girls - why? Because he imperiled the image of his program and more critically the university as a whole. There have been dozens of coaches that have been fired simply for making the program look bad and some of those I found to be overreactions. But when you hire a guy that you KNOW has a history of domestic violence and you are made aware of additional incidents after you brought him on board - that's just unacceptable. And then when you only fire him after those incidents are made public and LIE about it to boot - shit man, just try look more complicit, Urban. I don't think you can manage it. I just don't see a way you can look at how he handled this situation and characterize it as 'doing his job'.

So, if Meyer complied with the requirements I wouldn’t fire him. At this point I don’t see that his negatives would outweigh his positives from a business standpoint. I will also understand if he is fired for some of the image issues you set forth. I’m not saying what the school will do. I’m saying what I would do.

I'm an Ohio State fan, so I'm not going to get much into the argument. What I can say, is that it is more than likely Urban Meyer, despite being OSU's darling coaching hire, is going to be sent packing if Courtney Smith's version of events is corroborated. I say that simply from a "save face" standpoint for OSU. They forced the resignation of an equally outstanding coach in Jim Tressel for far less in terms of real damages. However, Zach Smith's legal counsel seems to indicate that police testimony will not corroborate Courtney's allegations. At this point, I can't judge Meyer's decisions based purely on hearsay. It does seem more likely than not that Meyer had some knowledge of an ongoing domestic dispute between Zach and Courtney. While it isn't up to Meyer to play judge, jury, and executioner either, he should have at least reported the incident(s) to TIX. Even had he not, the caveat here is that his new contract signed in April, not his contract in place in 2015, lists such reporting as a requirement and that could be Meyer's and OSU's out in all of this. After all, he did fire Zach Smith after a protection order was put in place in July. All said Urban Meyer is certainly walking on very thin ice.
As for OSU Football... At worst they go through another Luke Fickell season before hiring the next top coach. It's one of the most coveted jobs in all of sports. |

Seems like Bob Stoops would be the best hire for OSU. Convincing him to coach is another thing entirely.

I doubt he gets the axe. Ohio State football is everything in that state. They will say whatever that have to for him to stay. Maybe women can be responsible for their own shit for a change. Why didn't she do something? I get sick of the excuses of why woman don't leave their men if getting their ass kicked.
