At the time Jim was only an assistant coach at Western Kentucky University, and Miah played a significant role in supporting Jim throughout his coaching career and personal life.

When asked how he manages his NFL career while also taking care of his family and kids, Jim said “My wife does a lot of the work. God bless her.”

Reason For Divorce

The couple decided to go their separate ways back in 2006 after ten years of marriage. While the reasons for their divorce remain private, it was reportedly due to Jim’s alleged extramarital affair.
