This week, all eyes will turn to Columbus, Ohio as we await the decision concerning the future of head coach Urban Meyer and his alleged knowledge of spousal abuse allegations against his assistant coach, Zach Smith.

On an interview Monday morning with “The Roundtable” on WJOX 94.5, SEC analyst Paul Finebaum predicted what he thinks will happen to Meyer after the results of the internal investigation are made public.

“It has gotten so utterly confusing up there that I think all the he said she said favors Urban Meyer,” Finebaum said. “In the end, I think he will survive. I don’t think there’s an appetite at that university to get rid of one of the iconic coaches in modern college football history, and I’m not sure there’s enough credible evidence to do so. It’s a judgment decision the university will have to make and I think all signs point to Urban Meyer being reinstated either scot-free or with some penalty.”

When asked about sports writer Jeff Snook’s allegation that Tom Herman was the source of Brett McMurphy’s original story, Finebaum said this:

“Well, I think it certainly clouds the picture a little bit. If you’re going to take one side of the story literally, you have to look at the other side. Cleary McMurphy’s reporting has come under vicious attack, and I don’t know enough right now to say whether this guy (Snook) is credible or not. I do think that there has been some absolutely, unbelievably bad reporting on all sides and I think that plays into it, when the situation is so confusing, it gives the university more of a green light to say, ‘listen, we have a mess here, we are going to rectify it by instituting all these things that universities normally do at a point like this.'”
