Maybe because they've(ESPN) been collectively swirling the drain as a credible source for a while I wasn't familiar with him.Right or wrong maybe the younger generations version of responsible journalism is different than mine.But I wouldn't think this one sided piece recently released is the barometer moving forward
That was part of the issue, they fired him to retain a bunch of shouting heads who don't do a lick of real journalism.

I wasn’t referencing Jeff Snook. Seems like a good journalist. Reminds me a bit of John Bacon.
I like JB,pretty straight forward,fair,balanced and pretty engaging......for a UM Guy.You'll get just as much accuracy at Bucknuts as MGOBOARD FWIW

I agree with that.  Although I feel like people are attributing too much to his story, like he claimed to do some exhaustive hit piece on Meyer.  I honestly mostly stopped paying attention, but my initial take was that all his story did was question what Meyer told the media in Chicago, and based on Meyer's own apology for that, he doesn't disagree.  That all McMurphy's Facebook post does is show that he did in fact know.  He wasn't saying he didn't properly report, or that he was or wasn't covering it up, simply that he knew.  Anything beyond that, I don't think you can attribute to McMurphy.

Quite frankly before all this blew up we could've asked the same of McMurphy.Not like because he was a 2nd string writer for the world wide leader it automatically qualifies him for a Pulitzer Prize.His gem was as one sided as as a Joseph Goebbels presser.I suspected there was much more to this story and as I said when the story broke I really hope this all goes to court.

Very good take. I couldn’t agree more.

That one of these people is Zach’s mom deserves the obligatory grain of salt.  But that Courtney’s own mother validates is very powerful.


I thought the same initially until I heard that she and her mom are estranged.
Both sides are slinging some serious mud. The truth is probably somewhere in between.

Gene Smith would be a tough loss, strictly from a talent evaluation and hiring standpoint. Hockey, Womens Basketball, Mens Basketball and Football were all fantastic hires.

So 3 related adults are estranged from Courtney all pointing at the same thing.You ever here the story of the boy who cried wolf.Courtney flat out lied about Earle Bruce driving down to FLA to talk her out of divorce.That was Zach's mom but Earle supposedly took the trip but stopped and saw Meyer.People made their minds up after the supposed avalanche of initial evidence.Now that the worm's turned seems the same folks aren't interested in pursuing the facts any longer.I'm really not concerned about this whole cast of characters,save the Program & University

Jeff Snook reporting that Tom Herman tipped off Brett McMurphy on this whole thing.  That might make for some icy conversations.

My grandmother could have made that football hire.

how could he possibly know that unless McMurphy or Herman told him? Why would Herman out himself if it was in fact him, and I highly doubt McMurphy would give up a source and name him in public or to someone else. That's not what good journalists do, and McMurphy is a good journalist.
This Jeff Snook character seems like a clown.

They are estranged? That detail is central to taking Snook's post at face value. How can we know if it is true? My expectation of good journalism is that those kinds of matters of source credibility be asked and reported.
