August 12, 20188 yr 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. Maybe Texas will fire him for lying to the press!
August 12, 20188 yr Author 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? Because he got arrested for trespassing. It appears he may have been framed for that whole situation now, but when there is an actual arrest I’m not sure Urban had a choice at that point.

August 12, 20188 yr Because he got arrested for trespassing. It appears he may have been framed for that whole situation now, but when there is an actual arrest I’m not sure Urban had a choice at that point. He went to drop his son off at her clubhouse, which they agreed too. She wasn’t there, he took his son to her place and she had her phone out taking pictures of him on her property. He did not disclose this to Meyer, against his lawyers advice. That case is still open. Zach Smith is set to appear in court Aug. 22 for a hearing associated with the criminal trespassing charge.
August 12, 20188 yr When was that arrest? He was arrested early May but wasn’t fired until a couple days before story coming out. Isn’t the prosecutor on record stating that absolutely think there was abuse but not enough evidence to convict so they didn’t charge ZS?
August 12, 20188 yr 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. 1. Like I said, the University knew, they did nothing, fire the University. 2. Here is why I say that, the wife told everyone about it. The coaches wives, her friends, the cops........you mean to tell me she didnt tell the University?
August 12, 20188 yr 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? Its a good question, but if you were to take my wife and my conversations as evidence for something good luck. Our text are so out of order between each other that its hard to decipher half the time what we are talking about. He could have been saying I know to just about anything, who knows.

She filed a protection order against him.
August 12, 20188 yr Author When was that arrest? So much misinformation, but charges were filed against him in 2018 for criminal trespassing. When that information came out is when Urban fired him. JA outlines the details of that in post 64. I’m not sure if there was an arrest, just charges filed.

I’ve been there brother, I actually dislike texting to an extent.
August 12, 20188 yr Pete Rose wishes he had John Anthony defending him. I bill out at $1500 an hour if you ever need me, I’ll give a 10% BGP discount though!
August 12, 20188 yr Author Going back to Tom Herman. I think the main idea here is that he allegedly wanted to get back at Zach Smith. Who as we all know was the WR coach at OSU and single handedly helped land the biggest recruit from the state of Texas in the 2019 class in 5 Star receiver from Austin, Garrett Wilson. Urban and OSU specifically had been coming in to Texas and beating out UT for numerous players in recent years. Most notably JK Dobbins, Jeffrey Okudah, and now Garrett Wilson. They also landed Wilson’s HS QB from in the 2018 class Matthew Baldwin who was not as highly touted as the other 3 guys I named, but someone Texas definitely had eyes on being in Austin. The fact that Herman knew about the issues with Zach and Zach’s involvement with Wilson being a big key to his commitment is the motive for why Herman would just now came out with this information instead of earlier.
August 12, 20188 yr Author One thing to consider is there is another former OSU offensive coordinator on Herman’s Texas staff in Tim Beck who was at OSU when the Smith stuff happened in 2015. That would make more sense than Herman IMO. Beck was the guy who played a key role in locking down the state of Texas for OSU when he was there. Would make sense for him to try to end what he started.
