Urban Meyer: Dead Man Walking?

Yes or No? I think he's gone unless that team rallies behind him somehow, which I don't see happening.

I would imagine he has a multi-year contract.  Not sure what the buyout would be, but rumor is he's making around $12 million/year.

I think if you are fired for cause it might negate a lot of that. And that video alone could constitute that?

Maybe he will have health problems

Apparently Meyer owns the establishment where this happened and the girl works for a media group that had done work for the restaurant.

The mother of the 24-year-old woman who was videotaped and photographed dancing near Jacksonville Jaguars coach Urban Meyer at Urban’s Chophouse in Columbus, Ohio last week said she is worried about her daughter's wellbeing.

“(She) can’t even go anywhere," the mother told USA TODAY Sports. “It's ruining her life is what it’s doing. I’m worried for her emotional status right now."

USA TODAY Sports is not identifying the woman or her mother because they have been the subject of backlash despite not having made any public statements yet.

New Horizon Media Group, a marketing company where the woman works, said Thursday it is conducting an internal investigation into the incident that took place Friday.

When asked why New Horizons Media Group needed to conduct an investigation, Duncan said: “We’ve had no prior issues with her whatsoever. She’s been a very solid asset to the company. We’re going to undertake our internal investigation to determine what, if any, impact this has on the company and we’ll proceed accordingly." 

Duncan said the company has done work for Urban Chophouse, a joint venture with Meyer and an Ohio restaurateur, and said there is no knowledge the woman had a previous relationship with Meyer, the former coach at Ohio State.

Then there's the guy who posted the videos.

And the most curious thing about this scandal that rocked one of the biggest celebrities in coaching was the sleuth who unearthed it. 

Byrnes, 34 years old, has worn many hats. He once got in trouble for allegedly trying to rob some drug dealers in Montana. He took classes at Ohio State, though he never graduated, and still roots for the football team. He ran for the Ohio state House of Representatives and lost, garnering just 24.5% of the vote. He currently pens a newsletter, The Rooster, that mainly focuses on local politics.   

"It’s very, very niche," Byrnes says. "Who can name their state legislator?"

After that, he started the Rooster, made his unsuccessful political run and decided to become an electrician. But he still had a following and contacts from his days in the Ohio State universe. That came in handy last weekend.

Only in Ohio, man.  Only in Ohio.  LOL

You hate it for his wife and family, though.  Then there's also the Covid risk that nobody's talking about, either.  No masks or social distancing.
