She's not great, but something tells me the tang is pretty good.

I seem to remember his ex having cancer. What a complete scumbag, and she isn't even hot

Damn, Nate was already one of the most punchable faces in SEC coaching, but this tops the cake. What a D-Bag.

Acceta had been previously married to NBA coach Quin Snyder, but couldn't cut it, and decided to come back to college ball for Oats.

Yes, his wife was diagnosed in 2015 and declared cancer free in 2016.

No evidence other than online rumors of any extramarital affairs.

His current wife left UA for Dallas in 2022. He has been divorced for 3 years.

Maybe, that is a reasonable time to move on. And, they had chemistry.

Everything isn't a scandal.

This is literally a non-story that is being made out to be something it isn't by complete losers.

Lest a man returns to his former wife, if he remarries he commits adultery.

Wasn't his wife in remission before he even took the Alabama job? This staffer didn't follow him from Buffalo, so...

There are Biblically appropriate reasons for divorce, and forgiveness is available even if it was not a Biblical reason for divorce. Unless you know the circumstances of his divorce and are aware that he has not sought repentance, all you're doing here is making an assumption.
