Fired Ohio State assistant coach Zach Smith denies that he abused his ex-wifeand blames the university president for an investigation that led to the suspension of coach Urban Meyer.
In a series of tweets Wednesday, the 34-year-old Smith also lashed out at media, contended the investigation into his behavior was botched and said he hopes Meyer was forced by the university to apologize. He also posted a picture of his two children to tell critics that “your reckless & complete disregard for human beings hurts innocent children.”
Meyer was suspended for three games after an investigation found he mishandled domestic-abuse accusations and other bad behavior from Smith, the grandson of former Ohio State coach and Meyer mentor Earle Bruce.
Ohio State did not immediately respond to a message seeking comment.
