Urban Meyer will start the 2018 college football season serving a three-game suspension for failing to take appropriate action reporting domestic violence allegations against former wide receivers coach Zach Smith. But what does his future hold at Ohio State?
According to some, Meyer is set to enter his final year leading the Buckeyes.
ESPN’s Paul Finebaum is among those who believe that Meyer is on his way out in Columbus.
“I’ve thought a lot about this,” Finebaum said, per 247Sports’ Brad Crawford. “And you can look and interpret and say whatever you want, but I’ve come to at least an opinion on Urban Meyer that this will be his last season at Ohio State. I just don’t know how much longer this can go on, and I say that because I strongly believe his credibility has been shattered.
“The relationship with his athletic director has been fractured, and it was pretty easy to read the body language the other night that the school president wants nothing to do with him as well. Even though I would say Ohio State fans would easily rank among the most sick of fan in college football, slowly, I believe they will bail on him as well. Then, it will touch recruiting. We’ve seen Urban’s past when he’s under the gun, he bails.”
The Buckeyes kick off their 2018 campaign on Saturday, Sept. 1 against Oregon State.
