They aren’t pulling money from football. And truthfully they shouldn’t. It’s the university’s cash cow. Money would be pulled from baseball, girls’ basketball, softball..

So, the Oats extension thread on the CBB subreddit has a bunch of peoppe claiming there have been rumors for years that Nate cheated on his wife and thats why they got divorced. Anybody remember anything like that? At all? I dont. Hell, the fact they were divorced was only a rumor until this week. Bama has long a history with coaches fondling the interns, and theyve all been fired, I think the rumor would have gotten out if it were true.

It's Reddit. They hate Oats, which is amplified by a hundred because he's at Alabama. No reason to let them rile you up.

wouldnt call myself riled up, just trying to see if I missed something.

It was pretty well understood and very disappointing. I remember telling my wife about it a couple years ago and you could tell that Nate was the one that wasn’t holding fast to his stated faith beliefs. His ex-wife was more passionate about it and clearly believed it on a deeper level than Nate did…it was evident from the first 2 years of their time in Ttown.

Who knows but also who cares?
Life happens. He’s a basketball coach not the Pope. He didn’t commit a crime or pull a Golden and whatever happened between him and his wife is only his family’s business.
Oats has also become a lot more Bible quoting in the last year and a half. Maybe he’s grown deeper in his faith through whatever happened because I definitely saw an uptick in his stated spirituality.

I also don’t care if my mailman had an affair. Or a congressman. Or anyone. That’s between them, their spouse, and their god.
Life is weird and we all frick up. No sense in dwelling on it. Move forward and be the best person you can be with the lessons you learn.

If he had 3 kids, some still pretty young, I would. Being a present father is more important than getting your sexual fantasies met. I’m not saying I have stones to throw, but fathers not spending enough time with their kids for various reasons (some unavoidable…this one wasn’t that) is a large part of why we have so many issues in society and more people than ever on medication for mental health. But I digress

He is, by every account, still a very present and engaged father. As present as a head basketball coach can be.

*As present and as engaged as a divorced head basketball coach can be. Imagine what his daughters feel about his new fiancée.
Even if they don’t show it on the outside, there’s no way their hearts are going to be all joyful going over to their dad’s house to spend time with the woman that broke up their home (and their father’s choices obviously). That’s just reality and nothing you can say to defend or minimize the choice Oats made will heal those daughter’s hearts. It will take a lot more than that for them to process that grief…sometimes takes decades.

I come from a different perspective. I was raised in a “stay together for the kids” household. I really wish my parents had divorced instead of wasting away their youth in a loveless marriage that their children were very aware was making them both miserable.
Sometimes there are worse things than divorce and healthy coparenting.

We also have no clue what happened and are making a lot of assumptions so probably better not to belabor this

loveless marriage
Probably already too many non- recruiting posts, but I would say that divorce isn’t the answer for this issue as love isn’t a feeling. Good counselors and 2 willing people can do wonders for a “loveless marriage,” but the 2 willing people is usually the missing ingredient.
Both my parents and my wife’s parents had major issues while we were growing up, and somehow after the kids were gone and they retired, both ended up with very strong marriages. It was surprising for us both and yet an inspiring example. Sometimes hanging on and fighting for the marriage through the bad times, even when they are many years, can lead to amazing outcomes.
Lots of perspectives out there, but cheating on your spouse isn’t the answer. At least have the courage to divorce amicably first. Don’t teach daughters that men can’t be trusted.

That's a lot of assumptions and projection based on a divorce that wasn't even publicly confirmed until last week.
Weird, but go off.

“publicly confirmed”
Divorces are public record. It was discussed on this board.

Post proof that Nate did any of that or shut the frick up. Mucking up the board with unfounded reddit rumors should be an auto ban.

I’m sorry you’re upset. People paying attention knew Oats made bad choices that caused the divorce long before these reddit rumors on the current engagement. Be mad if you want to

Projecting much? You’re acting out because you don’t want to admit you’re making shite up.
