Could someone please post the content of this for those of us who don’t have X Twitter accounts? Thanks
He said they were in a coaches meeting and AD burst in and made them leave, and they all had no idea what was going on.
He has since said this morning he would not expect Smith back with Ohio.
Barstool has quite the reputation, however, I wouldn't completely write them off. Obviously they are non-traditional "journalism" but they definitely could have information from a player. Especially if we have any on the roster that are considered "Barstool Athletes"
What Barstool says, and what’s reality are two different things. If a university has to terminate someone with cause (and I'm not even saying that's what's happening here), it takes a lot more than “Rumor is, Coach A did this or that.” Lars has to keep the university’s best interests in mind, not whatever the fans want to know and when.
My comment was mostly towards the first statement about the coaches meeting. There isn't any statement from anybody at Barstool about Smith getting terminated but just a blanket statement that they personally wouldn't expect him back. I write off the second part but the first part could have some legs.
Not saying I believe Barstool by any means, it just wouldn't shock me if any of our guys have been in contact with them.
The secrecy and vagueness of the official university statement is very telling to me. This could only be bad IMO and it must be bad enough that they feel the best way to handle it is to remain as vague as possible. I'm guessing to buy time.
