Urban Meyer knew of domestic abuse in 2015
- Thread starter Colonel Homer
- Start date
Hopefully he's gone. Big Ten would be better without such a scum bag.
Grab some popcorn and start streaming Columbus sports talk radio
They will do everything possible to ride this out and keep him.
So this guy got arrested in 2009 and 2015 for Domestic Abuse and UM didn’t know about it?
Why didn’t everyone know about it?
What am I missing here?

I'm assuming we're missing a big part of the story. I've got to believe he held a prayer group for this coach, similar to the one he used for Aaron Hernandez. Meyer has always seemed like a very stand up guy! I'm shocked!!
This is gonna blow up big. I haven't gone there yet, but from what I understand there's a lengthy and detailed Facebook post by McMurphy about it.
Yep, texts exchanged with Meyers wife and others, along with pictures the victim sent. Meyer stated at Big Ten media days that he and his staff were unaware, but it looks like everyone on staff knew.
SubUrban will survive. He will have some TED talk about domestic abuse on campus with the NBA genius LeBrain James and special guest Drake.
Jim Tressel was dismissed from tOSU for letting players trade memorabilia for tattoos and other benefits. This is a lot more serious.
They’re reading the report on Columbus sports talk radio. Urban Meyer is f’d
97.1 is what I've been listening to.
Couldn't happen to a nIcer DB . Iowa is lucky to have KF and the staff He assembled.
He is going to fake health issues again to get out of it and resurface in a great job a year or two later
Yep. Urban Meyer and Ohio State don’t actually care if their coaches do stuff like this. They care if people find out their coaches do stuff like this.
It is more serious. What Urban did isn’t an NCAA violation though. I don’t know if that makes a difference, but it certainly makes the comparison more interesting.
Does O$u have the balls to fire their head coach less than a month before the season starts? No chance in hell.
Yeah, this will go more to the state and board of regents, university president etc. in terms of what kind of punishment they want.
Not sure why this surprises anybody. When Meyer denied knowing of the 2009 incident every investigative journalist worth a grain of salt started digging. In this day and age with background checks and extensive vetting for applicants for any job how could he not know? The interesting thing will be how UM spins this for damage control. I expect his story will be he felt he had to respect his assistants privacy which is complete bunk. He will survive this but he definetely has got egg on his face
He gone. The backlash will be too great and the administration will have no choice.
By Tuesday when UM meets the media he will be unable to comment due to who knows what......an internal investigation, advice from his lawyer, respecting the privacy of the abused, etc. etc.
He'll drag it out until the season is over and if his seat is hot enough he'll retire again and resurface in a year oe two.

Definitely no chance in hell. But there is a very good chance on Earth.
I believe it is just breaking. I am listening to Lebatard and they've been talking about it the last half hour or so.
I could easily see this being the case. I might drop the resurface part, but pretty spot on. All depends on how much the media pushes for the next month or so.
Don't lump all Buckeye fans together, I do care what happens and if Urban was in the wrong and it's against something that was in his contract, then so be it, he will be fired.
But, I will wait until all the facts are on the table and then if the University deems it necessary to cut ties with him, then so be it. One person is not bigger than the program...as you guys say...next coach in....We will be just fine, will it suck? Yes
The Facebook post was pretty sad. Everyone afraid to do anything because of their positions. Now, they all might be coming down.
True, still I just wanted to say that everyone thinks that the fans are the same way, yes there are some who don't care about what happens as long as we win, but I care about winning too... but do it the right way. I don't know how this is all going to play out, but like I said..we will be okay.
Why didn't she leave and get a divorce early on in the abuse? It sounds like she told her parents and his parents but stayed anyway? Why is Urban Meyer ultimately responsible? Are both sets of parents also to blame? Why aren't they getting roasted? I'm not saying he is a great guy or anything,and I agree that he could have done something, but it seems weird that it's all his fault here. I know it's popular to hate on Ohio State because they win..... I guess maybe I need more info on the situation....maybe I don't understand his part in this.
Read the report. This guy was beating her while on UMs staff at Florida and he knew. Then turns around and hires him at Ohio State
Urban is in trouble for knowingly employing someone who has a history of domestic abuse and lying about knowing what went down in 2015. How is that tough to understand?
