Nick Saban Says He Never Offered Zach Smith a Job Despite Urban Meyer Texts
Alabama head football coach Nick Saban (http://bleacherreport.com/nick-saban) said the Crimson Tide never made a formal job offer to former Ohio State assistant Zach Smith.
Saban responded to the rumors Saturday after Dan Wolken and A.J. Perez (https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/ncaaf/2019/08/02/urban-meyer-texts-alabama-offered-ex-osu-zach-smith-job/1904854001/) of USA Today revealed details from text messages sent by former OSU head coach Urban Meyer (http://bleacherreport.com/urban-meyer), who wrote in January 2018 that Smith had been offered a job as the Tide's passing game coordinator.
"I really never did ever offer this guy a job. We did interview him," Saban told reporters (https://twitter.com/AlexS_ESPN/status/1157666407057907712). "... When we did a background check we decided it was better to hire someone else."
Meyer sent messages about Bama's alleged proposal to a redacted recipient and later wrote directly to his then-wide receivers coach to ask him to remain with the Buckeyes, per USA Today.
"After much thought, I want u to stay. I have personally invested far too much in u to get u in position to take next step," Meyer wrote. "U need to step away from other situation and let's go win it all ....again."
He added: "We got u thru the [expletive] -- now go b a difference maker in the staff room."
Smith was fired (https://www.daytondailynews.com/sports/ohio-state-fires-assistant-following-domestic-incident/RYxzLsUDs1iXUiCCeSg6JK/) by Ohio State in July 2018 after his ex-wife, Courtney Smith, filed for a domestic violence protection order against him.
Brett McMurphy (https://www.facebook.com/TheBrettMcMurphy/posts/2042037522486968) of Stadium reported in August 2018 that Meyer knew about domestic abuse allegations made by Courtney Smith in 2015 against Zach Smith despite Meyer's denial (https://www.thelantern.com/2018/07/football-urban-meyer-faces-questions-over-zach-smith-at-2018-big-ten-media-days/) during 2018 Big Ten media days.
Meyer announced his retirement after the 2018 regular season.
"I can lie to you and say that's not important to me," Meyer told reporters (https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/25449933/ohio-state-buckeyes-head-coach-urban-meyer-retire-coaching-rose-bowl) about his legacy. "For any human being, that's important to you. And people have their opinions ... just do the best to do things the right way."
Ryan Day was promoted from offensive coordinator to OSU head coach.

amazed at what is considered news these days.

It's typical. The sports "media" is going to find a way to throw Nick into any and all articles about college football.

Look god knows I want Saban to go down in flames, but that is such a nonstory... story. First off who cares about anything Urban Meyer ever said, second obviously they didn't hire him Meyer wanted him back.

I agree and in a normal world, I wouldn't have shared it myself. However, this board is all but dead and it's this close to football season. I'm throwing haymakers

Is a post-dated 'we never offered you a job' declaration anything like a back-dated cease and desist letter?

First of all, I don't trust any bammer to tell the truth. And furthermore, I don't trust anyone under 5'10". So screw SPUAT and their dwarf corch.
