Complete title: Claims by Courtney Smith's mother, mother-in-law reflect tangled narrative facing Urban Meyer investigators.

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- As Ohio State continues investigating what head football coach Urban Meyer knew about domestic abuse allegations against former assistant coach Zach Smith in 2015, a new report on Thursday shows just how complicated the issue could be for the investigative team.

In a report published on the Facebook page of veteran sports writer Jeff Snook, the mothers of Zach Smith and his ex-wife, Courtney Smith, painted a very different picture of the allegations against Zach Smith, one that only adds to the confusion of a high-profile case that continues to get national attention.

Claims from Lynne Bruce, Zach Smith's mother and daughter of former OSU coach Earle Bruce, and Courtney Smith's mother, Tina Carano, make it clear that the investigative team will have alternative versions of events to sift through in attempting to determine the fate of Meyer, and that of athletic director Gene Smith.

Like him or hate him, it looks like Urban Meyer is being railroaded by the angry ex-wife of an assistant coach. Her own mother says she's lying and had "planned to take down Zach Smith and Urban Meyer" as revenge for Zach Smith's extramarital affair.

So we fire people on hearsay evidence with no proof? She seems motivated to lie.

Her own mother has turned on her.

Urban Meyer was suspended, but with this new evidence I’m thinking his suspension will be short-lived.

Her initial recollections of conversations with mrs. Meyer were not realistic. Saying she brought up with her at the time that her husband should not be coaching young men years ago is nothing more than media pandering. Not dialogue that would occur in the situation. Her ex is a bad guy but she’s a bit nutty. The complete lack of any criminal actions after her many assertions backs that opinion up. It was a mutually disfunctional relationship that should have no bearing of the head coaches future.

She’s not a nut. I believe she’s an angry liberal with a liberal’s typical lack of caring about right and wrong. She wants revenge and doesn’t care who she destroys in the process. This is the very reason I’ve repeatedly told my boys to choose conservative for wives.

STOP this witch hunt.

Urban Meyer may be found to be a coach who was verbally and emotionally abusive toward his college football players. It is a fact that he used lots of cuse words while talking to high school players at coaching camps. There have been reports that Urban regarded his Florida college players about the same way Michael Vick regarded pit bull dogs. Mister Urban probably covered up a lot of abuse that was done by the assistant coach. It remains to be seen what fake news from the girls camp or from Urbans camp will be believed.

I think Meyer is being railroaded because of the other "scandal" with the deceased homo doctor who put homo moves on some wrestlers at Ohio State. That "scandal" even tarnished Republican Jim Jordan for a short while until his version was supported by dozens of wrestlers he coached.

Ohio State was a little quick on the trigger with Meyer, another Republican.

Show me a coach who isn't mean to his players and I'll show you a losing coach. My HS football coach was a mean SOB who cussed at us and got in our faces like a drill seargent. We won the state championship my senior year and I survived just fine.

Yeah 50mm You use a description of ammunition as your screen name. That is rather imbecilic of you. How often do you murder anyone who opposes your pit bull aggressions?! Or do you just bark a lot and go away.?!

I said nothing about pit bulls and my screen name has nothing to do with ammo. The article is about a college coach being railroaded by an assistant coach’s wife, imbecile. Are you drunk?

50mm has everything to do with ammo. I am sober. With regards to high school football, there was an assistant coach at my high school who cused a lot. Then he converted to the Christian Religion and wound up teaching his players to live Christian lives. His teams won several state championships as well as a mythological national championship. So, why don’t you explain what 50mm means to you. If it does not refer to ammo then what does it mean.

I'm an amateur photographer. I had just bought a lens the week before I signed up for FR 8 years before you.

Geeze, I hope you never serve on a jury, you angry conclusion jumper.

Perhaps you are confusing 50mm with 50 cal? Regardless, I only have 9mm and .223 ammo in my house at present.

Now sober up and calm down.

Sorry to disappoint you. I am sober. And Urban Meyer is a pig. So you can calm down and realize that ISIS style terrorism is not acceptable in college sports nor is it acceptable in other walks of life.
