Accused domestic abuser and fired Ohio State assistant football
coach Zach Smith – and his mother! – took to social media on
Wednesday to partly defend Zach and partly attack nearly
everyone else.
Together their list of villains included, but was not limited
to, Ohio State itself, school president Michael Drake, Urban
Meyer, Zach’s ex-wife Courtney Smith and, of course, the media.
Any hope for Ohio State or Meyer that this story would quickly
die out has to be over. It was a social media storm serving as a
reminder that keeping volatile personalities around is like
lighting a fuse and hoping it won’t reach the explosives.
Zach Smith was fired in July after violating a protecting order
taken out by Courtney, who through the years repeatedly accused
him of domestic abuse. Meyer is currently serving a three-game
suspension for failing to properly manage Zach as an employee.
Zach has admitted being in a “volatile relationship, it was
toxic” but says any injuries Courtney suffered were because Zach
was acting defensively. He’s also battled substance-abuse
issues, repeatedly missed work and was discovered to have had an
affair with a fellow football staffer that included filming
various acts inside the Woody Hayes Athletic Center.
Urban Meyer is surely wishing he’d gotten rid of former
assistant coach Zach Smith years ago. (AP)
Ohio State’s investigative report released last week “identified
a pattern of troubling behavior by Zach Smith: promiscuous and
embarrassing sexual behavior, drug abuse, truancy, dishonesty,
financial irresponsibility, a possible NCAA violation, and a
lengthy police investigation into allegations of criminal
domestic violence and cyber crimes.”
Zach believes much of that is a lie, although he admits to
having “made mistakes.”
Zach Smith also promised an aggressive legal defense against
Courtney Smith and reporter Brett McMurphy, who broke the story.
He insinuated he had dirt on former OSU assistant and current
Texas head coach Tom Herman. And he even attacked sexual assault
survivor and advocate Brenda Tracy for having an “agenda.”
It all started with Zach posting a picture of he and Courtney’s
two children, essentially using them as a shield, while calling
out various media members.
“Look at these faces,” Zach wrote. “You heartless and moral-less
clowns. Every LIE or dramatic version of the truth you report,
you hurt THESE precious children! Just like their mom has and
continues to do. Do have families? Kids?”
Meanwhile, over on Facebook there was Lynn Bruce, who is Zach’s
mother and the daughter of former OSU coach Earle Bruce (who
died earlier this year). Earle Bruce gave Meyer his first break
in coaching and Meyer has long referred to him as a mentor. The
Meyers and Bruces are (or were) close, which is how Zach Smith
got hired and remained hired for so long.
That relationship is beyond strained now with Lynn Bruce
questioning Urban’s honesty, integrity and even his religion for
no longer supporting Zach and instead apologizing to Courtney in
a written statement.
“I’m just wondering where [Meyer’s] mentor was in his thinking,”
Lynn Bruce wrote. “The Earle Bruce I know would be disappointed
at best. My father was fiercely loyal – to a fault I will agree
– but he would never compromise his integrity by apologizing to
someone who has lied and brought so much damage to HER OWN
CHILDREN and so many others. He would never bow down to anyone
if it meant being dishonest.”
Lynn Bruce said Urban Meyer would have stood up for Zach, “IF he
were honest….IF he had integrity…..IF he were truly a
Christian….”
This was a double-barrel blast of rage, both mother and son
lashing out at every imaginable critic.
This was ugly. This was emotional. This looks like just the
start.

complete exoneration.
Any male who has not been to a strip club needs to have his
testosterone level checked. It makes one suspicious of the OSU top ass
(oops, brass).

This story is already ancient history for the team, the coaches and the fans.
They are all 100% focused on Saturday's kick off in the Shoe.

are fact or fiction. Then it is always fun.
What I quote has the ring of possibility so I leave it up to others to
discount it.
I actually think it's funny when a sad sack like Fut thinks one can
lie by posting a quote - and makes a liar of himself when he does.
Well, maybe just an idiot but we already knew that.. But I imagine he

'Ring of possibility'. Maybe to someone with a fourth grade education. Or a moran. Or both.
