Ohio University Fires Coach Brian Smith

Ohio University Fires Coach Brian Smith

Ohio University fired their head football coach, Brian Smith, because he did something wrong at work.

The university said he broke the rules of his job, but they didn't say exactly what he did.

Smith's lawyer says he didn't do anything wrong and they plan to fight the decision.

The team will play their next game with a new coach, and the university is looking for a permanent replacement.

Smith was in his first full season as head coach and had a good record with the team.
