oh hell no.... i was never in favor of hiring this POS.... you'll never find anything to the contrary either.   

my account was banned for posting a link to a site that gives free tickets to veterans (apparently a they compete with a sponsor?)  i still never figured which sponsor gives free sporting tickets to veterans, but so be it....it was years ago.

I don't think this is the same person, and I don't think its particularly close?

 

Edit: this is my bad, as ColoradoBlue pointed out below, I was thinking only about the one girl he was pictured with. I totally forgot that he did this more than one time in the same night

Confusing matters is that he was photographed with at least two different blondes that night.  It is definitely not the girl in the "who is this he keeps flirting with me" photo.  However it is very likely to be the lap dance girl.  There is a still picture of Urban with her earlier that night and... yeah.

It is 100 percent the one with the white tank top, white belt and jeans who is dancing in the video.  She tied her hair up (with the hair tie that's on her wrist in the photo) so she looks a bit different with a pony tail.  But that's the same person.

The name @caymannebraska is tagged in the New Horizon posts and that's the same handle that posted the ass grab pic to Snapchat saying, I can't believe someone took a video of Urban grabbing my ass or whatever she said.

i don't understand how this matters at all outside of his family. he's not a politician, he's not a religious leader, he's not a teacher, he's not in charge of young people. all you are doing is invading the privacy of a woman who went out on a weekend.

I mean, its mostly just funny whenever a piece of sh!t gets caught red-handed (literally in this case).

But from a job standpoint, the dude skipped flying back with his team to have his fun and then had to cancel team meetings to explain.  He then lied to his team with the grandkid / random 20 something story - the entire team was laughing at him.  This dude lies like the rest of us take pisses - and its not the first time it caught up with him.

And don't feel too bad for the "young woman", she was proud and posted on social media but then had to retract after the story blew up.  What the hell did she think would happen?

This is what gets missed.

OK - so he was out having a good time. If he working some everyday job, no one would care.

But in the current HC world of the NFL thanks to everyday in at 5 AM, watch film to midnight, think FB 24/7 lore that is built up around the best HC, team owners are going to wonder - how much are we paying him? Shouldn't he be back at home base trying to figure out what to do? At least look like he is bothered to be on a losing streak

It actually humanizes him. He just wants to go out and get a few beers inside and have a good time with some pretty girls making him feel as it he were back in his college days for a few hours and go slink home and sleep it off.

Just so we're clear, you feel bad for Urban because his boss expects a lot from him and his life is stressful?

You do know he volunteered for this job, and every other job he's had.  He wasn't forced to take the job or the millions of dollars that came with it.

She posted this to what was her public social media account.  Also, he's got a contract with a morality clause, because he's a public figure.  Doing this (and losing games) reflects badly on the people who pay him and they can fire him over it if they see it as a breach of his clause.  Sorry she's being dragged into it but she did post some of the pics publicly. She also likely knows who he is and the dangers that come with being around a married public figure.

I'm just gonna have to disagree...

This has everything to do with the 'character' the NFL is trying to portray itself to have.  It talks a big game about respecting women, so there needs to be follow-up here.  You can't just point at physical abusers and target them, there must be a level of respect that everyone should have.

So this young woman was enjoying herself while out, one night?  So whatever happened is okay?  What about Meyer's wife and family?  Don't they deserve some respect?  Urban Meyer showed the world that he has no respect for his wife, or for his family.

And for that, yes, he deserves all the shit that's coming his way.

If you think this is merely a private matter between two private people, remember that Meyer has chosen a very public life.  Remember also that they were in a public business.  Remember also that she was good with posting this crap all over social media.  Remember also that Meyer is clearly lying through his teeth with the various 'explanations' he's given so far.

He's willfully marketed himself as a de facto life coach and pushed his ghost-written book called "Above the Line: Lessons in Leadership and Life." If that's how you're going to present yourself publicly, you should expect the public to throw you down a well when that's not who you actually are.

As the kids say: fucked around, found out.

Look at it from a risk management perspective, from the standpoint of a university or an NFL franchise. Were something to go wrong, you were on notice. There are (even more) questions about his character now, starting with why wasn't he back in Florida with his team rather than in Columbus at a bar during the season. USC will not hire him now and probably would not have hired him even before this.

She’s hanging out and dancing with (on?) a very well-known public figure and an NFL coach. To my understanding, she posted this on her social media account. Those, by their very nature, are not private sites. They are public in every sense of the word. 

I’m not advocating for her to be actively harassed or abused by the media or the general public, but she brought a lot of this on herself. When you post shit like this, you are actively inviting the public to investigate your life and what you do, where you’ve been, etc. 

Value your privacy? Don’t post dumb shit on social media. And especially don’t post doing dumb shit with highly well-known, controversial public figures. When you post something about your life on social media, you are forfeiting the right to keep that aspect of your life as private. 

You can’t just post videos of dancing on Urban Meyer and then get upset when people criticize you for it.
