This could be a rare opportunity and timing for IU to hire a top 5 Football coach. I know he may have covered up for an assistant coach alleged abuse of his wife. DeAntonio and his MSU football players molest and commit rape, he looks the other way or covers it up, and he's still coaching at MSU. IU will never win big without a Big Time coach that recruit high end talent and coaches them to major bowls.
If Urban Meyer is fired by OSU, should IU hire him?
- Thread starter ufo33
- Start date
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
This is the guy who once predicted/declared a 1-11 season after starting 1-0...we proceeded to go to our first bowl in 10 years.
He also said investing in football facilities was a waste of time and that the soccer team should play at MS because they would draw better.
Go away.
Guys a scumbag and "the" O$U knew it when they hired him...
Oh, it's a rare opportunity alright!! Hey UFO guy - - come back to earth.
P.S. This is my nominee for funniest thread of the year.
Only if Urban promises to bring CKW with him..... (dws).
I may be in the minority here, but that is okay.. No charges have been filed against the assistant coach. Even the victim didn't want him to be fired. As far as we know, he shows up to work and must be doing a good job.
I manage 9 people. I am not going to fire one of them because there are texts that he has had an altercation with his wife. I will sit him down and suggest he separate himself from her and get counselling, but if there is neither a complaint filed with the police or charges brought against him, I am not going to fire him. It is a personal matter. My job as a manager is not to check on my people to make sure they do everything proper away from work. The exception is if he is involved in activity that affects his work or I see him do something that confirms the act he is accused of.
I'm not an Urban Meyer fan. I can separate my personal feelings from what is done in the workplace. I wouldn't be surprised if he gets fired. I'm sure IU wouldn't hire him. Someone will hire him and they will be a contender in a couple of years.
BTW, my wife does support Meyer. I would have thought again about this if she had thought differently.
This was a lot more than an "altercation." Also, there was police involvement and charges were filed. This goes back to 2009 in Gainesville, FL when Smith was charged with aggravated battery on a pregnant victim, when he allegedly threw his wife into a wall. Published reports say that the wife/victim was pressured by a friend of Meyer's and by Earle Bruce (Smith's grandfather) to drop the charges, and she did. Meyer and his wife then recommended counseling, which the couple attended, but the abuse didn't stop.
Meyer rehired Smith when he got the gig in Columbus. There was another violent incident in 2015 and it appears that Meyer lied last week, from the podium in Chicago, when he denied knowing about it until recently.
Meyer's history of hiring includes not only this guy (Smith) but some other questionable characters as well. And he may have protected Aaron Hernandez, who punched a guy in the side of the head (rupturing his eardrum) but was never charged, and was also a suspect in an attempted homicide (before he was convicted of an actual homicide). If you're okay with protecting and/or enabling violent assailants, then Meyer's your man.
If your employee's wife texted your wife about being abused, would she tell you? And if she did, would you later deny it?
So we fire Wilson for player abuse and turn around and hire a coach who knew about and then lied about spousal abuse?
PASS
You must not have seen this...It came out today and is very disturbing.

I’m also guessing there is more to this story, but we are also only hearing about the things that McMurphy could verify (text messages) working as an independent journalist.
There's no vacancy, thankfully.
Deceptively edits? Translation: you don’t agree with their view but will hurl accusations bc it fits your viewpoint.
O’Queef is a convicted felon who had to pay a $100k fine to a former ACORN employee he smeared. That punk also tried to end Shirley Sherrod’s career but after the unedited footage was released the government offered her back her old job because she didn’t say anything bad.
O’Queef is a dirty trickster.

I don’t know about all this Meyer stuff but I know Calipari is going to be available after this year and he’s got a National Championship. This Miller guy has done nothing here and he had veterans coming back last year and we sucked. He didn’t even make the NIT?
If IU basketball was serious, they’d hire a real coach like Calipari.
Now...digest that for a minute and let your blood pressure come down a bit.
What I just typed is how stupid some of you guys sound around here.

Don’t you all worry about old Urban. When the sh$& is about to hit the fan, he’s got a little guaranteed play that gets him out of trouble.
Here, I’ll show it to you:

Rumor mill has Matt Campbell of Iowa St replacing Meyer
https://saturdaytradition.com/ohio-...-coach-leading-candidate-replace-urban-meyer/
https://saturdaytradition.com/ohio-...-coach-leading-candidate-replace-urban-meyer/
He'd be a good hire. He did a nice job at Toledo, and quickly turned things around at Iowa State.
The more I read, the more convinced I am that Meyer is toast at OSU. He's another in a series of highly successful coaches (and we had one in a different sport) who self-destructed. I guess ego and arrogance take over with some of these guys, and they think they can say and do whatever they want. Gotta hand it to the great coaches who are principled and do things the right way.
Not a convicted felon. And that video was edited by Breitbart, Larry O'Connor was specified as the employee in the lawsuit. I don't believe O'Keefe has any official relationship with Breitbart.
And this from a guy that once stated he wasn't going to post on the free board anymore.
Yep. Nonetheless, the time is nigh for poaching OSU commits who don't know who the Buckeye coach will be next year.
Ended up being a misdemeanor according to everything I read.
Pretty much agree with you. Never understood
why people expect the football coach to do what
law enforcement refused to do??

To answer the original question: No F---ing way. I think we have a coach. Coach Tom Allen.
I have this feeling he's going to get a BIG title. (Yes I'm an optimist.)
I'd love to have it before I'm too old to appreciate it. Huge Grin!
I also think we'll be much better than people expect this year due to grad transfers.
Go hoosiers!

Said coach was allegedly complicit in "encouraging" the victim not to press charges at School #1, rehired the abuser at School #2, took no meaningful action when another violent incident, involving the same people, was brought to his attention in 2015, and apparently lied about his knowledge/awareness of the incident in front of assembled media and a national television audience last week. Is this the kind of person you want leading a group of young men? Are you effing kidding me?
Yep, it very much appears that Urban was actively involved in efforts to keep law enforcement out of it. In which case that's not just a fire-able offense, but perhaps a criminal one.
Also, the other assistant coaches knew and apparently at least some confronted Urban to do so something. Those coaches could have done something themselves, but if they were scared of retribution towards their careers, then Urban needs to be fired for creating such a hostile work environment

Football 6-6 +/- 1
Borderline bowl
Basketball 21-12 +/- 2
Lock for NIT and bubble for NCAA
And, no blowout losses to IPFW and ISU.
I think Fred Glass is doing a fantastic job. Best investment and growth in facilities in IU history. Operates in the black. Donations are at all-time highs.
I wouldn't deny it. Meyer made a bad decision. I can't read his mind, but I would make every effort to protect their privacy until charges were filed or legal action would have made the case public. I would respect the wife's privacy as well as not prematurely accusing the coach. Denying after the facts had come out was Meyer trying to fend off criticism. People never learn that cover ups cause more issues than the truth.
OSU can do whatever they want. He isn't our coach. He will move on and be fine. OSU will hire a new coach and they will still win.
A lot is riding on this season. If IU misses a bowl and the basketball team struggles then I don’t know how anyone can defend Glass.
No. I'd rather go 6-6 with a quality man like Tom Allen. I respect him not matter what his record will be.
Meyer is a horrible person.
