I dont know if any one will see this, but Ive caught flak here and been downvoted before for calling out Urban and his bag man & fixer that handled shady shit for him. Ive even said the guys name in here and on discord, and low and behold the guy appears in this story...

A few days after Zach’s 2009 arrest, Courtney said two of Meyer’s closest friends – Hiram de Fries and Earle Bruce – asked her to drop the charges. Bruce is Zach Smith’s grandfather, de Fries is Meyer’s “life coach.”

That guy is still with Urban, and he is the guy that covered up shady shit for urban in the past.

edit:

On a July morning in 2009, Courtney Smith sat across the table from de Fries, a former attorney and Shell Oil executive. Courtney said de Fries pressured her to drop the charges.

That aint the first time he has been involved in things like this. The real story is there for any journalist willing to dig into that guy.

edit2: https://www.facebook.com/TheBrettMcMurphy/posts/2042037522486968

“Zach once told me,” said Courtney, “if he ever got fired and this all comes out: ‘I’ll take everyone at Ohio State down with me.’ ”

this guy knows dirt. I expect Mueller to be speaking with him soon.

Supposedly, that post is by a former Florida Gators player.

Are you suggesting it's okay for OSU coaches to adhere to standards lower than those they impose on their players?

No, I don't, you may have misinterpreted simple sarcasm...

Don't knock them for adding those two, they needed to class up the joint a bit.

This is their out:  tOSU will blame it on the Urbs' wife, since she's the one Smith's wife told the about the incidents, and she failed to report it under Title IX.  They'll fire her.   Urbs might get a slap on the wrist (fine and maybe suspended for games 1 & 2).  

No couch is safe from a burning in Columbus tonight.

The following excerpt is a teaser for the article from the Rolling Stone website:

 

In college his coach (then-University of Florida head coach Urban Meyer) may have helped cover up failed drug tests, along with two violent incidents — an assault and a drive-by shootout outside a local bar.

Yahoo is claiming that Rolling Stone is about to release an article claiming Urban covered up an assault and drive-by shooting by Aaron Hernandez while at Florida...

Don't some of the texts say that "he knows" or "I told him"?

You don't think Urban Meyer is willing to call his wife a liar to protect himself?

I wonder if Baylor will hire him after next season or if we have to wait until 2020.

I am very surprised by this. Meyer has a squeaky clean reputation and only has the most upstanding citizens on his teams.

SIAP,  but has Herman's name come up in this yet?  He was there when "all the wives knew," right?

I'm not saying you're wrong, but I don't think his problems involved any assistant coaches. Hey, who can control these kids today, right???! /s

The 2015 incident happened in October of 2015.  Herman was already head coach at UH.

Yes. Mike Leach, Mark Mangino, Bo Pelini, and Kevin Wilson are renowned for being problem-free limbs of the Stoops coaching tree.

Ha.  They didn't mention McMurphy in the headline.  ESPN sucks balls.

Let's take a look at Ohio State boards...

Djh70ljU8AAktVe.jpgDjh708pU0AAYb0b.jpgDjh71HFU0AAZGnb.jpgDjh726IU4AEKzJB.jpg

Did anyone expect anything different? Look at the response from Penn State fans and Baylor fans. We as fans place way too much value on whether 100 dudes we don't know win a game. 

This seems pretty damning - so OSU knew about the 2015 incident as well:

Terry Thomas, an attorney who used to represent Courtney Smith, said Columbus attorney Larry James reached out to him in 2015 seeking information about the incident between Zach and Courtney Smith. James served as Ohio State's lead counsel to represent student-athletes in NCAA investigations.

"He called me and asked, 'How bad is it?'" Thomas told McMurphy. "I said, 'It's bad.' I assume he wanted the information so he could report this back to his client."

Thomas confirmed the conversation with James to ESPN.

He knew about Aaron Hernandez and he knew about this too.  We will see if OSU does the right thing.

Urban is going to be fired just like Briles at Baylor, claiming ignorance is no longer an acceptable defense.

In McMurphy's full story it states that James specifically did not forward information to Ohio State because he was acting as Smith's attorney at the time (attorney-client privilege) so there's an out on that one.

It's going to be hard to claim ignorance when it can probably be shown that he knew.  

Hes gonna go up there and throw Shelley under the bus.

A good Ohio State makes a shit ton more money than a good Baylor, but I hope you're right.

True.  But Ohio State can also be good without Urban, whereas Baylor was irrelevant for decades before Briles showed up.  They "need" Meyer less than Baylor needed Briles.
