Some interesting names with SEC ties listed among odds to be Ohio State’s next coach if Urban Meyer is fired

Urban Meyer has dominated the news on Wednesday and there appears to be no end in sight to the speculation until Ohio State releases some form of statement regarding the status of the Buckeye coach.

If you missed the day’s biggest topic, college football insider Brett McMurphy has exposed Meyer as a liar following the coach’s appearance at the latest Big Ten Media Days. In an explosive report from McMurphy, the ex-wife of Meyer’s former assistant, Zach Smith, provides evidence that Meyer was aware of the domestic violence going on at the Smith home over the years.

It’s unclear where Meyer stands with Ohio State at the moment but that hasn’t stopped online sportsbook BetDSI from releasing some interesting odds in relation to the day’s biggest story.
