Texas coach Tom Herman was the Ohio State assistant with Zach Smith during a visit to a Miami-area strip club in 2014.
The Columbus Dispatch reported that Ohio State spokesman Chris Davey confirmed that Herman, then Ohio State’s offensive coordinator, was the unidentified coach cited in a 23-page university investigation. The investigation looked into the domestic violence allegations against Smith and the handling of the incidents by Ohio State coach Urban Meyer.
Smith was fired in July as Ohio State’s receivers coach after college football insider Brett McMurphy reported that Smith had abused his former wife, Courtney.
