Meyer is facing questions about his relationship with former receivers coach Zach Smith, who was fired Monday after an Ohio court granted a domestic violence protective order to Smith's ex-wife last week.
"It's something our team lives by, E plus R equals O. You press pause and get your mind right and step up, press pause and gather information, get your mind right, gather energy, and then step up to do the right thing," Meyer said Tuesday. "That's the position I hold. That's how we did that."
Smith, the grandson of former Ohio State coach Earle Bruce, was charged in May with misdemeanor criminal trespass.
