You're missing the point. He grossly mishandled the entire situation. He compounded his original mistake by lying about it, then he cemented his actions by not even properly apologizing for it.

And what does any of that have to do with how he handled the actual allegations? He is not the pope. We are talking about a disputed action between a man and his wife, not something on the job.

Its clear you wouldn't be satisfied with any apology of his, although obviously he failed in the press conference.

It's not failing at the press conference. It's failing to report. And wiping the phone. And suspicious yet convenient drug-induced impairment. Spare me.

The university probably looks the worst for this, though. This kind of stuff causes schisms between donors, alumni, and the campus community. Football isn't beloved or endeared in these places as much as some think; round up some faculty and talk about that. The school going above and beyond to speak for Meyer and these issues? This won't go away there.

Be honest and think about how many things from 3 years ago you remember about other people when you have to fill out a form. I know from filling out applications for kids there is a lot I don't remember and I have a great memory.

He did lie in the press conference about 2015. Again, applying that standard and you would fire about 100 FBS coaches today.

Meyer had a responsibility to report what he knew to his superiors. He didn't. Whether it was intentional or not is irrelevant. Sure people forget things - they forget where they put their keys; a personal password; a specific date. However, it would be an incredibly foolish argument to say that one doesn't remember a close personal staff member being accused of serious allegations at not one but two different institutions.

Coaches stretch the truth about rosters, coaching decisions, gameplanning, etc. Very few have been caught lying about illegal activity. Others - like previously mentioned - had all been terminated. Whether you want to admit it or not, there is already a standard there. Ohio State just didn't follow it.

Who lied about illegal activity?

Zach Smith was never convicted of anything illegal; he was never charged with anything illegal; he was never even arrested. His ex-wife's own mother publicly said that she was making it up to try to get both Zach and Urban fired.

Got a credible source? Also why would she be lying for over a decade and still be married to the guy? Why would she be trying to get her husband fired while they are still married? Got an answer to that one genius?

Courtney Smith's Mom gave a lengthy interview. Her daughter sounds like a nutcase who has alienated her entire family. One of her quotes:

“I witnessed what she did several times: She would get in his face and block his path while screaming at him. One time when I was there, he was trying to walk down the steps and she blocked him so he couldn’t leave the house. He couldn’t get by her and he had to leave, so he just picked her up by the arms and placed her to the side, so he could walk by and walk out the door. When he did that, I am sure that would leave red marks on her arms. It would if he picked me up and moved me, too. Then she would take a picture.”
