I am not speaking with contract issues or title ix or university policy


I am speaking to people who think Urban should have fired smith because “he knew he did it”

If you beleive that, you should hold true to the logic every employee accused of a crime should be fired because “you know they did it”

It’s simple logic


For those arguing what Urban was contracturaly obligated to do I am not speaking to that

I’m not even sure urban committed a crime

And I don’t even care if he gets fired or not. I’ve only been arguing he will get fired.

Your comparison is just frickin terrible tho

My comparison is spot on for those saying Urban “knew he did it” and should have fired smith

Not will get fired, COULD get fired Bc that possibility remains they would have cause per his contract

No, it’s spot on

The only foolishness is from those saying Urban Meyer knowingly kept a wife beater on staff and claiming that as proven fact

It’s just flat out incorrect to state that at this point

You keep talking about firing Smith like that was the only option. He didn't have to hire him at OSU knowing what he knew about his time at Florida. He didn't have to renew his contract earlier in the year knowing even more about the situation. Urban had other options.

Suddenly Smith is fireable the day it goes public.

And this is where your reading comprehension has failed you

Don’t feel bad, Matt Moscona is on your level. He made this mistake over and over on his show today


Meyer said he knew of the allegations and reported smith

That is not remotely the same as saying Meyer knew he was a wife beater/did what he was accused of

I am not one of those people, Urban as HC has discretionary hiring and firing authority with his staff, maybe he wanted to give Smith one more chance, who knows? I don’t think it was the wisest choice Bc the risk remained he could bring the university in disrepute by retaining him but he didn’t break any laws by doing so to my knowledge, Urban’s a guy who throws caution to the wind with people whether it be players and apparently now coaches so I’m not surprised, that’s his character he admitted as such IIRC at media days

I am fine with people saying he knew what smith was alleged of doing and keeping him on staff was dumb

I am arguing when people say it’s a known/admitted fact that urban knew smith was a wife beater

The first staterment is a fact at this point

The second is not

For some reason, people are thinking 1 makes 2 true

Urban frames it as a young couple that needed some help and counseling. I tend to think that's a favorable account of things at best.

Lol, sure. Cause Urban is joe blow employer. Because Urban doesn't make $5 mil a year, urban isn't the supervisor of what probably a $10 mil or more a year staff, urban isn't one of the most well known people in the state of Ohio, Urban doesn't have the cell phone number of the Police Chief, Urban doesn't have a private investigator on speed dial....

If you guys want to act like a guy like Urban in Urban's position just reports random BS from his wife, enjoy being ignorant.

I'm of the belief that Urban is smart enough to get to the bottom of any sort of BS that may cause him issues.

I'm of the belief Urban either is completely ignorant of an issue, or he makes it a point to know everything about it or someone that does. Urban wasn't completely ignorant here, so there's only one option left.

Didn't Urban say this about the 2009 account?
