McMurphy said he had evidence that Urban knew. Then he gets asked if he has evidence and says he doesn't. fricking solid.

Absolutely. He's knowingly kept a wife beater on his staff for almost a decade.

Shows his character and no legit university would want to be associated with that.

In a high profile role like that, you can't have someone that scummy as the face of your program.

His lies at media day were very specific media day. Found out in a text, called the office to see if they knew anything, etc. He even said he doesn't know why someone would make up a story like that.
How could he comment so specifically when we "wasn't adequately prepared to speak on the subject?"

And he wasn't prepared to speak on something that he himself led with at freakin' media days?

And because he wasn't prepared, he decided to give a very specific lie in response.

Ok

He's shifting as his bullshite is knocked away.

Eventually, he'll just accept it.

Smith was just on the radio in Columbus and said he was called back from a recruiting trip in 2015 by Gene Smith to respond to rumors of a domestic report.

If true, Urban is free and clear.


Smith's story makes it sound like the athletic department handled it themselves. While it's unlikely to get anyone fired, it's the same thing that got a few slaps on the wrist at Colorado.

Not free and clear, but best case scenario for OSU.

Circumstantial evidence, and he was right.

McMurphy has played this incredibly well. Sat on the text about being choked until Zach Smith blabbered about never abusing her.

How in the world was it nonsense?


You're giving credence to a very carefully crafted statement that came out after a bold faced lie.

I'm going to try to stop talking to you about this. You're too good at being annoying

This is him and the university floating the "I lied but didn't do anything else wrong" theory to see if it'll keep the outrage down enough for him to stick around. They're gauging what'll satisfy the public.

nope. This is just him. No way the administration was involved with the way he worded that. Setting himself up with a nice check if they decide to fire him

Meyer could have put him on paid leave while the university did an investigation. The AD if he knew, also could have done this.

This entire thing stinks to high heaven.

"I reported it and then I lied about it because, you know, why not? Then they suspended me because nothing happened."

“I got documents, texts, emails, photos, and basically it showed the wives of the entire coaching staff knew what had been going on. In these text message conversations it showed that Urban Meyer knew about this,” McMurphy told ESPN’s Scott Van Pelt.

Van Pelt then pressed McMurphy about his claim that the text messages show Meyer knew about the 2015 domestic assault allegations his former wide receivers coach Zach Smith was facing, a charge which the Buckeyes coach denied last week. McMurphy then acknowledged he did not have any direct evidence and that his assertions were based on what he believed the coach was likely to have known.

DisplacedBuckeye doesn't have a position on any of this, he just takes the opposite of whomever he feels like antagonizing. Just an FYI.
