If you are unemployed but you are trying to take down coaches just for fun, you are a sad person and you probably look like this... Agree, Brett is a **** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brett is just super smug thinking he is changing the world but you are a former sports reporter getting cheap thrills by taking down coaches that are bigger than you. I hope one day he comes to the realization that he was nothing more than a tmz reporter for the sports world, yellow journalism at its finest.

Pretty sure knowingly having a domestic abuser on your staff would violate those clauses. This all really comes down to cost benefit analysis. If TOSU thinks Urban brings more value to the table as their coach than they stand to lose by blow back about this than TOSU will not enforce those clauses. TOSU is just trying to get a read on how the wind is blowing with this by releasing their time table for their "investigation". Really what they're doing is seeing if it will blow over and probably doing some investigating of their own to see if McMurphy has any more ammo to lob down range if they choose to let Urban stay on. I wouldn't put it past McMurphy to have one more hand to play in all of this.... As for Cinci. They are just keeping their head down and hoping all of the attention stays fixed on the big shiny object that is TOSU and nobody makes their connection any bigger than it is right now.

Yup, Ohio State can go the sensitivity training route if they think Urban Meyer is worth it. Personally, that is the route I would go. Two weeks of, "Urban, if you hear of these abuses you must report it to the authorities" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When Brett was helping stir the pot at USF, people hid under tables. No one felt Leavitt was worth saving. Too much personal risk. After all, he had “plateaued”. Instead, let’s flush the program and many of its fans along with it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That says all that we need to know about the situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fences make good neighbors. Now apparently it’s a company’s job to police their employees lives, who seriously wants this and why? This all stems from what happened at Penn State so I assume they all have it in their clauses now to report any kind of abuse involving their staff.

Is someone making the argument that Urban's wife received a text message like that and did not share it with Urban? I go to movies when I want to suspend disbelief to that level. Personally, I am not sure how much responsibility Urban has in this situation but it was likely in his contract. The stuff that happened at Penn state and the way people knew about what was going on and did nothing has driven a lot of this. He is getting paid a lot of money, he has a lot of power and he is one of the most visible faces of the university. With that comes certain responsibility I suppose and they are innumerated in his contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
