Former Ohio State assistant coach Zach Smith took to Twitter on Wednesday to break his silence with a number of posts, saying he believes people in the media, including ESPN, have hurt his children as well as Ohio State football players, staff and fans.
"Silence = over. I tried," Smith said on Twitter. "I can't watch [clowns in the media] continue 2 run their mouths-not only w/o knowledge but w/ complete disregard 4 my children. Their mother had plenty of disregard 4 them in this. Time 4 u all 2 face the damage ur causing."
Smith was fired July 23, after an Ohio judge issued a protection order that forbids Smith from getting within 500 feet of Courtney Smith, his ex-wife.
