    Default Ohio State puts football coach Urban Meyer on leave, opens investigation

    Ohio State placed football coach Urban Meyer on paid administrative leave Wednesday while it investigates claims that his wife knew about allegations of domestic violence against an assistant coach years before he was fired last week.

    Courtney Smith gave an interview to Stadium and provided text messages to former ESPN reporter Brett McMurphy between her and Shelley Meyer in 2015 and with the wives of other Buckeyes coaches. Courtney Smith also provided threatening texts she said came from her ex-husband, former Ohio State assistant Zach Smith.

    “Shelley said she was going to have to tell Urban,” Courtney Smith told Stadium. “I said: ‘That’s fine, you should tell Urban.'”

    He will be found innocent. Guarentee it. His wife will take the fall.

    Urban has already admitted he knew.

    Even if this assistant coach is completely innocent, urban hearing the claims and not notifying anyone is still a fireable offense. It's not up to Urban to determine his innocence/guilt.

    And going up and lying to the media about when he (Urban) knew about it is a horrible look. And anyone who believes that Urban's wife didn't tell him is naive.

    The entire thing stinks of unethical garbage. If Myer was a bad head coach he would have been fired already.

    I get that man. I’m not an Urban fan, and I’m not trying to defend him. I just know spouses can do funny things if they’re worried about the stress their spouse is under. Most of the time a wife would tell their husband, but people do weird things sometimes...

    Again, Urban literally admitted this week that he knew about it.

    He admitted that he knew after he lied to the media about knowing. He fired the guy very late into this ordeal, and the guy is the grandson of his Urban's mentor. I separate this from the Title 9 fight that seems to be looming, too.

    Again, this is a civil legal matter.
