Ohio Fires Brian Smith for Cause After Administrative Review

Ohio announced Smith’s firing for cause after an administrative review, citing “serious professional misconduct.” He had been on leave and denies wrongdoing through his attorney, who said no formal explanation was given earlier. The move avoids a $2.5M buyout tied to a Dec. 1 deadline. Interim coach Hauser will lead the team in the Frisco Bowl as a search begins.
