Urban Meyer’s family has always been very supportive of him during both the high points and low points of his career, and that has continued even as the Ohio State coach has seen his public image rapidly worsen over the past month.
Earlier this week, Jim Rome took aim at Meyer for “covering up for a piece of crap on his staff.” The longtime sports radio host repeatedly called Meyer a liar and went as far as to say he’s a “piece of garbage.”
Meyer’s younger daughter, Gigi, did not appreciate Rome’s take. She responded to Rome’s rant on Twitter by praising her father for all the good he has done.
Both Gigi and Urban’s older daughter, Nicki, have been ramping up their public support of the Buckeyes coach lately.
Meyer was fortunate to keep his job, but he has continued to defend himself as more information surfaces about the case involving one of his ex-assistants. At this point, anyone who continues to support Meyer probably can’t have his or her mind changed. All Meyer is doing by releasing statements and conducting interviews is keeping the story in the news.
