Saban turns 68 on Halloween

So with Bill Snyder gone from K-ST, I guess Saban & Mack Brown are the 2 oldest active HCs in FBS I - or dang close? Mack is 2 months older than Nick - will be 68 in Aug.
Now, there's a possible hip replacement upcoming, although Nick said, "I plan to be coaching a lot of more years." He DID say it like that...."a-lot-of-more years." Glad he's not planning to teach English.
Anyway, 68 this year & 70 in 2 more. Saban wants the all-time Natty record, but I wonder if he DOESN'T win it by '21, will he hang it up? Even if he gets the record - will he STILL hang it up - or go on coaching "a-lot-of-more years."

Thought I'd add - just looked it up.... Frank Solich (Ohio Bobcats) now oldest HC in Div I at 74. Next is the Coastal Carolina guy, about 70 (sorry I don't follow much Bobcat football or Coastal-C).
Solich did have a good career as a player @ Nebraska. He was 5'7" & weighed about 155! Then coached under Osborne for 19 years & became the HC when Tom retired - then fired after 6. Been @ Ohio since '05 - that was also the year he got a DUI for being passed out behind the wheel, facing the wrong way into traffic! Guess he's off the sauce now; hope so.

80+, the president is in his mid 70’s, Saban has another 10 years easy.

Hey.let's not put old Saban out to pasture just yet.After all if Tiger can come back from back surgery to capture another Major,what's a little hip surgery do to stop a man as active a coach on the sideline as the man he looks up to(Dabo).
Of course he could coach the sideline from one of those motorized scooters,in which case he would be looking up at everybody.

Thing is Leftie, at 5'2" (with elevator shoes), Nick's been looking up to just about everyone his whole life - except that time he gave a tour of the Bama facilities to Peter Dinklage.

Any man not calling his member " Peter Dinklage " at this point is absolutely failing at life .

not even English teachers.
And... the language of kindness is understood by everyone - heard by the deaf, seen by the blind.
