School put him on administrative leave. Ryan Day steps in.
I’m kind of shocked they acted this fast.
This is a better reaction than that of the last round. "I hope Tressel doesn't fire me."
I'm Projecting here: Meyer tried to back (his) POS guy, wife offered to help/assist/encouraged battered spouse. Neither took it to the authorities. Meyer lied about knowing how bad it was, and (his) POS guy just cost him one of the most lucrative jobs anywhere.
Columbus radio has been bashing Meyer all day. I liked the W's he brought the program, but not sure how "anyone" right now can be in his corner.
And at the same time: I'm also having a hard time reconciling the vitriol Courtney Smith is showing towards the Meyers, while I stay compassionate towards her in a devastating situation. Shelley has correspondence, saying "I'm afraid for you." & "How can I help?" but SMith is like you should have forced the situation for me...
It kinda feels (notice I'm using a feel statement here not a factual statement, and as my wife reminds in arguments all the time, a feeling may be wrong but you still have to feel it in order to move on) She is saying I'm not responsible for being it an abusive relationship, you are responsible for not reporting my problems to the authorities. It's just hitting me wrong right now.
I don't know how to reconcile "the lie" that Meyer didn't know. All the evidence I've seen is circumstantial, but come on, the court of public opinion (and common sense) says he had to know. And should have not lied.
But on the other hand, I'm a huge proponent of due process. I truly hope everything can come to light to the right parties, and Due Process can happen before they sac Meyer.
