Was Tom Herman the anonymous tipster in Zach Smith Case?

Featured Replies

No disrespect but I don’t believe that. Also, I’ve only been after facts from the beginning of the Meyer saga. If you’re referencing how I treated the now fired UL coaches for their transgressions? Sure, I was cynical about them, I openly admit that.

 

You don’t need to believe it. I have zero ill will towards OSU. I just don’t have a reason to.

 

Thats all I wanted from you, I’m good. :thumb:

Going back to Tom Herman, if he knew and did nothing when he was at OSU, shouldn’t he be reprimanded for lying last week to Texas media?

It’s a slippery slope basing info off text or screenshots. Which one of her phones was this from? Did her carrier corroborate it? Why is her now estranged mom, backing ZS in some instances?

 

The rules of evidence have developed over the last 800 years, if we’re gonna take someone’s job, reputation, freedom, not just ZS, anyone, shouldn’t it be corroborated?

 

Sure it should be, has he came out and said the text wasn't factual? It will/would be easy enough to prove if it didn't take place. But something must have happened, remember Urban reported it in 2015. Urban must have believed something happened or why would he have reported it to his bosses?

 

I didn't know she and her mom were estranged, that makes sense why the mom doesn't have her daughter's back then.

May have mentioned it to Urban (his boss) and Urban could have said I'll take care of it. I don't think OC's can fire assistant coaches.

If Urban Meyer is telling the truth (and we don't have proof that he's lying) about reporting it, in 2015, then whomever he reported it too or was put in charge of the investigation should be fired. If the school never contacted the alleged victim of DV by one of their coaches then someone in the loop of that investigation dropped the ball.

 

Urban will not and should not lose his job if he did report it in 2015. Was it poor choice keeping ZS if he thought he was beating his wife, yep. If he reported it though that is Urban's get out of jail free card...someone above him dropped the ball.

Not meaning to hijack but I am asking for personal reasons. Are screen shots and/or text data not a good evidence in a case like this?

 

I’m asking because my daughters was threatened by her ex boyfriend via social media. It’s a key part of the case. Can you help elaborate the pros and cons of this evidence?

Problem is on 8/2 he just told media he had no knowledge of it. My understanding is his wife and CS were close and that’s probably why BM is not sharing text from “other coaches” if he has them. He possibly didn’t want to out his source.

 

It looks like Tom has confirmed that him and his wife paid for legal services in March of 2017, for CS. But nothing since then.

That term doesn't begin to define the situation.

The lawyers I have spoken with said text and screenshots can be cut up and manipulated and are hard to admit in court. If they’re corroborated by the carrier (Sprint, T-Mobile) whoever, then that’s a different story. CS’s text have not been.

OSU reached out to the Powell PD but Powell would not release info on someone not charged. They cited an Ohio statute stating they didn’t have too.

 

Also, if OSU had reached out to Courtney, man they would be blasted for witness tampering.

It wouldn't be witness tampering if there were no charges filed. They absolutely should have spoken with her...no reason not to, if they wanted to find out what happened. I could see them using that excuse if they really didn't want to know what was going on and want deniability later if it came out.

 

Who knows what their motive was for not investigating further, maybe they really thought they couldn't do more.

OSU considered it a pending investigation. After Powell PD decided not to press charges, which by the way, Powell could have pressed charges with or without CS’s approval. OSU decided that to move on and Urban gave ZS a stern warning. Was this the best course of action by OSU? I don’t know, but the police let him walk and shortly thereafter, they divorced. OSU did not cover up anything.

To me it’s a bombshell report that Tom Herman and his wife (admitted) were giving CS money for whatever legal purposes.

 

Then Tom on 8/2 said he had no knowledge of CS and DV at OSU. Holy Toledo.

If all of that is true and I have no reason to beleive it's not, then why did Urban abbruptly fire him when it became clear the story was going to come out? Why didn't he continue to stand behind and support his Assistant Coach, whom as far as he knew the Universtiy had already investigated and allowed to continue to coach?

This whole situation is one giant soap opera.
