Its seems like this guys is somebody in the staff and NOT Zach Smith. Here is something he posted further into the thread:
Guys I’ll state this as simply as I can:
A. I have a career ahead of me. My name being implicated would be a deathblow to my career. There is an unwritten rule of coaching that you don’t release dirt on former colleagues. No one would touch me if I released it with my name on it.
B. I’m not going to have too. Zach will release it. If he gets cold feet and enough time goes on I will be more willing to gamble and personally release what I have to a journalist that promises to conceal my identity.
C. Even if I did release it, Tom would deny it, say the photos are photoshopped, say the girls texts we have are someone else and that it’s rigged and he would deny it. If I make it clear that I have this it’s likely he will deny it. Then when the facts are released that’s one more thing he’s guilty of that ruins his credibility. If he acknowledges what we have he may apologize, publically announce his mistakes and that would be more factual than us releasing what we have right now, because there would be no denial.
D. He is clearly scared and we have proof and recordings of him sending people to try to essentially pay Zach off in exchange for him not releasing what he has. I have info Zach doesn’t even have, I don’t need people knocking on my door. Nonetheless, when it comes out that he has tried paying people off it makes him even more guilty.
E. I want him to sit in his chair for awhile and helplessly think about what he’s done. I want it to simmer for awhile that at any point someone could bring him down. Sitting on info is powerful.
F. Some of it could look bad on our program and I’d never do anything to hurt THE Ohio State University.
G. Reporters will see this and inherently start digging. If they find it I don’t have to potentially blackball myself in the coaching community and if asked anything I can smile and decline a comment and it won’t matter because they’d have everything they need.
