He should’ve been fired for hiring a serial abuser who also had multiple other run ins with the law.

Unless there was proof of this abuse I’m not sure what Meyer was supposed to do. Take the word of a third party that’s not law enforcement? Now if he had proof then that is completely different. But it’s a sticky wicket to get involved in someone else’s domestic issues. If Coach A says Coach B is beating his wife Coach A better have proof before I confront Coach B. But if they have proof then steps need to be taken. Yes you get loyalty etc involved and I totally get that. I know there was a history of some sort in FL so that adds another layer It’s just crazy one way or another. Personally I’m not a fan of people who hit their wives. But I’m pretty conservative like that.Purple Haize wrote:How about not activate his cronies to talk her into not pressing charges?

Are you just stirring the pot?
This article sums up everything we talked about Meyer pretty nicely:
http://www.espn.com/college-football/st ... estigation
PH, when reading this pay special attention to how the 2009 allegations were handled. Courtney Smith was talked down from filing charges by Meyer’s loyal cronies.
After seeing all this laid out, I’m convinced Meyer knew, and he was using middle-men and middle-women to keep his distance, thinking distance would save him if things ever came to light. Those middle-men and middle-women (including his own wife) are loyal to him to the core.
Beyond all this, Meyer seems angry all this came about. I think when Courtney Smith agreed not to press charges in 2009, he took that as loyalty from her. She says she decided to speak, because Zach Smith repeatedly violated terms of their divorce. (Hell hath no fury...)
So now that she decided to speak, she’s violated the loyalty Meyer demands from everyone around him. That’s a real Scum Bag move! But I’d be lying to say it isn’t rampant in college sports.
Meyer is probably somewhat ticked at Zach Smith because if he had just behaved himself, maybe Courtney wouldn’t have talked. But maybe she still would have. Either way, Meyer is a real dick.
