Zach Smith (Official Thread)

Not happy that he likely wouldn't have gotten fired unless the media finally caught onto all this (rumor Ed Warriner leaked it?). They were hoping to keep it hidden and keep him on the staff

Warriner really is a true Buckeye

I don't know anything about this, but I think that any divorce attorney can tell tales of fraudulent claims of spousal abuse with the intention of separating the spouse from the kids as punishment for a divorce, affairs or whatever.. By men and women. Doesn't sound like it in this case, but I guess my point is that no one here really knows what happened on the day.

Fraudulent claims before they were even married I guess?

I don’t see this being resolved quickly.

It’s incredibly difficult to fire anybody anymore especially in the public sector.

Maybe Smith should have thought of his kids while we was acting a fool

It’s a process that takes time, I don’t know if it’s started.

I’d guess we will see him be reassigned and/or seeking help.

Especially if he claims he has an alcohol issue or is transitioning into a woman.
You can’t just fire him.
I wouldn’t think Zach goes quietly.

Didn't work for sark at USC so it won't work now

So now Meyer has to contend with the question of why the coach was fired for something 9 years ago, no?

What a mess.

I would've loved to see Guiton come back but Hartline should do well.

A lot of domestic disasters should, few do. None of that changes the sadness that should define this scandal.

Lesson to everyone here: protecting someone you know who fucked up will end up getting you fucked.

Yeah mildly worried about that... but Zach was never charged so perhaps this was just the last straw.

Hard to fire someone if the person being abused doesn't press charges. Now that something official has gone through there's no more defending.
