Urban F. Meyer (3x National Champion, CFB HOF)

[MARVYMARV14]

I imagine coach will be at home this weekend, watching our opponents play and breaking them down with a scientists precision...He'll come back week 2 with many ideas and week 4 rejuvenated and ready to lead this team to another chip, I see the good in this for him and think we'll be a better team for it.

Just win, coach. Just win.

Im assuming that's code for "urban got lucky and the setting was already set for deleting after one year."

Why wasn’t this statement released last week?!?!?

 

[BuckeyeNation27]

Jesus fuck. Can this end?

 

[dragurd]

Why wasn’t this statement released last week?!?!?

Cause PR dept is asleep at the wheel? I expect to be set that way by default when OSU sent him the phone if that was their standard the whole time. But then for the love of god why did they talk about it just made an issue out what was never an issue if true.

Q: don’t we have a fucking dept that teaches PR? If so the dean and everyone on staff should be fired tomorrow... Why is OSU the poster child of how NOT to do college football PR?

Because it's what they do. You seriously gotta have a licence to be that fucking stupid.

It may more likely be code for "Ohio State's records retention policy does not require people to keep text messages longer than a year anyway "

And there is no way to prove it one way or the other... we know, we’ve been checking for the last week since the report was released to be sure.

Predictably the national media is not reporting this:

A person familiar with last week's deliberations told cleveland.com that the board met with all options, including termination, on the table. The only option that wasn't given much consideration, the source said, was the idea of a "time served" penalty for Meyer, who was on paid administrative leave from Aug. 1-22.

or this

The issue that would determine whether Meyer and/or Smith would be terminated was if it was believed they deliberately covered up for former football assistant coach Zach Smith when he was investigated for domestic abuse against his now ex-wife in 2015. The university's independent investigation determined that, while Meyer and Gene Smith did not follow reporting procedure to the letter of their employment contracts by adhering to a law enforcement investigation and not submitting their knowledge of the allegations against Zach Smith in writing to the OSU compliance office, they did not interfere with the Powell police investigation nor did they deliberately keep the information from school officials.

Once that determination was made, cleveland.com learned the decision to move on from termination and discuss other findings of the investigation was "near unanimous."

Wadsworth told The Times on Thursday that he was the "lone voice" of dissent in pushing for harsher punishment, and that he felt the board moved too quickly to the talk of suspension.

So basically, the board followed the independent investigation's determination, and Wadsworth alone disagreed and, as a result, walked out on his fellow board members just a couple of hours into the 12-hour meeting?

This whole article is worth a read, as it shows the deliberate approach undertaken by the board.

The problem is in our microwave world people only read headlines. Hence, in my mind why Facebook and Twitter are so popular. Ain’t no one got time for reading and certainly not for understanding......

This is probably true, but the message from his attorney didn't say "any message removed from changing a setting is irrelevant due to not being required to have them.". It says that he straight up didn't delete or change any setting.
