Urban Meyer Lied About Ohio State Coach's Domestic Abuse

[khardbored]

If Meyer gets fired at OSU should we all go into panic mode here?

 

[Brandon]

So are we rooting for a good year to have fun one last time or a mediocre one so they don't go after Campbell?

Go with a good year and let the chips fall where they may

poor original post on my part, sorry

During the administrative leave will he have another health program and retire (again)?

The power of someone making an allegation and getting immediate reaction and resulting in people being fired, without someone investigating and proving the accuracy of a story, scares me.

There are pictures, documented text messages, police reports, and testimony.

This has been carefully investigated by one of the most respected sports journalists in the country. He says he has evidence and sources to back everything up.

These things become evidence in a criminal or civil suit, if it comes to that. It would not be the first time the media did the work of an attorney or prosecutor for them.

If Urban is innocent, then he is free to assert so.

He seems not to be saying much.

He is on admin leave which means he’s getting paid but can’t perform the duties or be at work. If they don’t and he’s found guilty, it looks as much though the school didn’t care. People have also been known to tamper with evidence so you can’t have them around.

You've got to be kidding me. There are text messages the wife sent to the rest of the coaches wives. There are police reports.

He got placed on leave because it got out what OSU already knew. I’m going to bet that this isnt OSU reacting to new info.

Where's Kirk Herbstreit with the "He’s gone." tweet on this one? No tweets about his alma mater?

 

[ca4cy]

If I'm Jamie Pollard, I'm locking Campbell and his wife in my basement for the next 6 months, so he can't take any calls or texts without me knowing it!

Fixed

 

[awd4cy]

I think Greg Schiano should be their interim coach.

 

[Gunnerclone]

They probably won’t be looking for a new hire for this season anyway. If we do well enough next season that Campbell is their guy then we’re going to have a really fun year this year.

Can we save the dunking on reporters for stories not about domestic abuse?

No one has been fired (yet).

The power of bad, bad comments like yours....

JSB, you are right, what I wrote (poorly) was more of a general statement of things going on in the #metoo movement. Shouldn't have put is this context.

The pictures of her injuries and documented text messages that she had sent out to several people and nothing coming of it aren't accurate?

Stories like this (i.e. bosses covering up domestic abuse) is exactly why the Me Too movement exists

 

[clonehenge]

Sounds like the interim coach, Ryan Day, is a rising star. If Meyer gets fired hopefully Day goes undefeated and they hire him full time.

You mean women becoming more confident in speaking out about abusive situations, and literally fighting back like when mouthbreathers think it's OK to walk by and grab waitresses' asses?

If Urban is Fired and they role with Day this season, we should all pray they go undefeated.
