Don't even bother reading the comments...sheesh

I second this advice.

No one is shocked by this as a complete lack of character is part of the job description at OSU

Coaches need to be out of the discipline business. They are under so much pressure to win. It's also a problem of we do not know the facts. What if the wife said please don't fire him we are working it out? That's a tough position to be in for a guy who just wants to win football games. He does not have the sophistication or expertise to be in charge of that. He has to manage 80 scholarship players, recruit, game plan, do endless fundraisers and manage a staff on football related items. Now he also has to be in charge of the personal life of his coaches? I am not saying Meyer isn't trashy, but this is an insane amount of shit to be in charge of. And clearly no one can handle it properly.

The sad part is the wife and young family get the short end of the stick if the father loses his high paying position. What becomes of them with no lack of support? This might be why Meyer looked the other way but it's all a riddle right now.

That is what I was getting at in terms of all the legend coaches.

Whoever said the coaches should not be involved in these cases is right. They have to report to the police when they learn something and get out of the way.

Zach Smith was seen by a neighbor, and he appeared drunk, was banging on windows, and threw a Christmas wreath on the door to the ground.

The Christmas wreath deserved it

The legend coaches were all renowned disciplinarians though. Just look at guys like Woody or Bo. If you fucked up just a little bit off of the field, you would have to face their wrath. My dad played for Bill Mallory at NIU and he had some great stories of how he would keep his players in line. He made his players fear getting in trouble because they would have to face him the morning after. That's what a college coach should be, not someone who sweeps everything under the rug.

A dick since Utah....and the arrests of his Florida player....but Boers loved him (so the Boers ALS won't say shit )

How fast do you have to be to outrun the truth? Looks like Urban Meyer will find out. Meyer’s story of not knowing about fired OSU assistant Zach Smith’s second domestic violence charge rings hollow, especially because Meyer’s wife says she knew. Oops.

just looking at a few of boers tweets on the first page of his twitter page. he's not good at twitter.

Dan is really struggling with that OSU rally. I wonder if his outrage is just radio or if he really gets this worked up over Big Ten sports and the bad behavior of college coaches.

If I'm an honest Dallas Cowboys fan, I'm really wondering about the next shoe to drop on Zeke after watching his idiot father's tirade at the rally of weirdos yesterday.

I think he really hates the "emperor" coaches and the way they skirt rules etc.

These guys aren't angels. That's not a shock to anyone. It's just an ignorance is bliss mentality. If you put all these big time programs under a microscope, no one would like what they find.


So this non-stop outrage that a successful coach would bury stuff is disingenuous. If we're going to fire every coach and player that has engaged in questionable (not always illegal) activity, then you aren't going to have a lot of football, collegiate or professional. For every misdeed we know, there are probably dozens that are unknown.

-Drug use
-Recruiting violations
-Sexual crimes against women
-Fighting including domestic violence

Parkins bringing the logic about the rally....very very low percent of fans turned up.
