Urban Meyer released another statement following suspension
Following an investigation into Urban Meyer’s handling of former Ohio State WR coach Zach Smith’s alleged domestic violence incidents, the school suspended the title-winning coach for the firs three games of the 2018 season.
Case closed, right? Apparently no, as Smith went on a Twitter rant on Wednesday and Meyer released a strange statement on Friday morning.
As you can see below, Meyer released a long statement defending himself and citing parts of the investigation released by Ohio State:

Meyer seems to be on the defensive after more information has continued to come out following the suspension announcement.
What the next step in this case ends up being is anyone’s guess, but it’s seemingly going to get stranger before it gets better.
This guy has no clue when to just shut up.
My thoughts exactly. Let it rest and it’ll be ancient history in a month, given the current news cycle.
Is anyone interested in reading anything this guy says?
Some one needs to remind Urb that it’s better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to open his mouth and remove all doubt.
“It depends upon what the meaning of the word ‘is’ is.” This guy just needs to shut up.
If I knew I could just falsely state things that were plainly not accurate instead of lying I’d have a way better resume…
good one
I am still curious how an investigation into the former Mrs. Smith during their divorce gets no mention by that reporter. Results don’t support the narrative?
Classic example of media pushing a narrative that doesn’t square with the facts, bolstered by plenty of incurious repeaters of BS mindlessly commenting on it. It’s a reflection of our politics and culture. In other news: the Russians did it.
I’m curious as to what narrative was pushed by the media that wasn’t true? Contrary to Urban’s statement and the investigation, the original police report from 2015 stated he was arrested. You can’t fault the media for reporting facts.
You are so right. Some people will never accept the truth even after it hits them between the eyes.
You must remember, if the person is gullible enough to believe that the media is doing this, he’s too far gone. I believe the term often used is “alternative facts”. Even though the alternative to facts are lies, claiming the use of “alternative facts” distorts the reality between facts and lies. A very dangerous mindset but an even more erosive issue undermining the very institution that holds truth to power. Once someone has accepted the idea of “alternative facts” being truth, you’re better off arguing with a wall, be it a factual or alternately factual one.
Somebody needs to put a sock in Urban Meyer.
He just lied about his lying at B1G Media days. He never stops…
To me, it all comes down to Meyer bringing Smith from Florida to Ohio State. He could have believed that Courtney beat up Zach or the opposite. It makes no difference. Because he had to know that as long as Courtney Smith had a mouth, she was going to continue to say Zach and therefore Urban Meyer’s staff, sets a negative example toward men’s relationship with women. That kind of PR just doesn’t work for a college football team.
So summarize Saint Urban’s position: Innocent save for one character flaw. He is being persecuted for doing the Christian thing and attempting to help a troubled employee.
His position, not mine. He enabled and covered up inappropriate and probably illegal activity of one of his employees and purposefully withheld knowledge of previous serious problems from his new employer (OSU). Oh, and I’m still hung up on the deleting emails, lying (without intent to deceive), and a conveniently faulty memory.
How far are we from another “heart attack”?
