Ohio State Buckeyes coach Urban Meyer fired assistant Zach Smith on Monday, days after an Ohio judge deemed him an imminent danger to his ex-wife.
Smith was charged with criminal trespassing after dropping his children off at the home of his ex-wife, Courtney Smith, against her wishes in May. Zach Smith appeared in court last week for a pre-trial hearing that was rescheduled to Aug. 3. Days later, Courtney Smith requested and was granted a personal protection order that requires her ex-husband to stay 500 feet away from her.
College football reporter Brett McMurphy reported Monday two prior domestic assault accusations against Zach Smith that occurred in 2009 and 2015.
