This Rinahldi interview aint gonna help shit... just opens the wound up again.
Let it play out in court.
I hear him loud and clear when he says 'im sorry she feels that way' - but national media will never report that her mom, police, etc all say she's a liar.
I didnt know Shelley called the police to get info - and then dropped it. It's very consistent with Courtney's half of that toxic relationship. Rinahldi wants to imply the police confirmed... but at this point id bet they told Shelley that she makes serial false allegations.

Urban Meyer Breaks His Silence On Zach Smith Allegations

Urban Meyer is now officially back as the full-time head coach of the Ohio State football program.

His three-game suspension ended at midnight. Sunday morning, for the first time since he was suspended in mid-August, Meyer spoke to the media.

ESPN’s Tom Rinaldi sat down with Meyer in his Dublin, Ohio home. They discussed specifics on the allegations against Zach Smith, what Meyer knew about them, and what he did about them.

Meyer said that Zach and Courtney Smith’s marriage was, “An extremely difficult situation. A very troubled marriage. A situation that I wish I had known more, I wish I had done more.”

Meyer said that he met with both Zach and Courtney following a 2009 incident in which Zach was arrested.

“I was told that it was not domestic violence, that she was very upset with him for drinking,” Meyer said, before Rinaldi interrupted to ask who had told him that.

“I believe both of them did,” Meyer answered.

Rinaldi asked Meyer who lived up to the program’s core values by protecting and respecting Courtney Smith.

After a long pause, Meyer said, “That’s a tough question. Now that all the information is out, now that I’ve learned more, if by firing at the time, sever that relationship, and I see these two young kids. That’s the way I’ve always thought: how do you help stabilize something? And at the time, I thought I was doing the right thing.”

Urban has a right to do the interview. Reporters are going to ask about it anyway. I'm sure he wants to be "up front" and "I have nothing to hide too"; and get those questions out of the way. I probably wouldn't have done it with ESPN; however, I guess, it's possible that he and Rinaldi were buddies though.

Football: Urban Meyer takes back head coaching job from Ryan Day

IMG_0460-19pgjr4-530x353.jpg


As Ryan Day took the podium after No. 4 Ohio State’s 40-28 win over No. 15 TCU, it was not as the acting head coach.

Urban Meyer officially returned to the football program as the head coach after serving a three-game suspension to start the 2018 season.

During that time frame as acting head coach, Day had one goal in mind: to give Meyer a team in the best possible position to succeed after three games. After winning three straight games to start the season, Day said that goal has been met.

“Our goal was to get 3-0 so that when Coach got back, he had a team that was 3-0,” Day said. “That goal is accomplished, but we have a lot ahead of us.”

For Day, he has not viewed himself as the head coach for the last two weeks. Per the suspension, Meyer was allowed to return to the team during the week starting on Sept. 2, returning to his normal head coaching duties every day but game days against Rutgers and TCU.

However, those game days were not something Day was used to. The offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach had never been a head coach before prior to being named the acting head coach on Aug. 1.

Leading a coaching staff with two former head coaches on it, Day said he received a lot of help from both defensive coordinator Greg Schiano and offensive coordinator Kevin Wilson during his time as head coach.

Day said Schiano’s help during Meyer’s suspension is something he will never forget.

“He is the classiest person I’ve ever been around in the coaching profession,” Day said. “The way he’s handled himself, helping me along the way, counseling me on day-to-day stuff.”

Even in the locker room, the players saw Day’s impact in Meyer’s absence.

“I think Coach Day did a good job keeping the system going,” redshirt junior running back Mike Weber said. “Everything we do on a daily basis didn’t change because he was gone. He showed us those things to keep doing what we’re doing if he was here.”

Weber said Day did a good job at getting the team to focus on the long-term, saying that when Meyer returned to practice, “it was like he never left.”

Meyer’s presence even when absent, that idea that “he never left,” is due to the culture that players and coaches say he created at Ohio State, setting up a system in which Day could succeed in the role as acting head coach.

When Meyer returned, Day said the majority of the play-calling for the upcoming game, whether it was for Rutgers or TCU, was made before Saturday.

Day said the recruits and coaching staff that Meyer brought in got Ohio State through the suspension.

“Obviously, the culture that he’s built here is amazing and the foundation that he’s built here. And that’s what got us through these first three games and through preseason,” Day said. “The players that have been recruited here and coaches that are here have kept this thing going.”

Meyer has to rip this bandaid off sooner or later. Truth is he doesn't have good answers to some of these questions. He can't call Courtney a liar - he'd get roasted like a pig. It's a story for a day or two, again. But he needs to do this to finally get the point where he can say, "I've answered all the questions on that topic I'm going to answer." It'll get talked about, dissected during broadcasts. Fans will have signs. It doesn't matter a month from now.
