Paul Bryant coached until he was 69 years old.
Steve Spurrier made it to 70.
Nick Saban will be halfway through his current contract with Alabama when he passes those two legends and becomes the oldest coach in the history of the SEC.
Saban, who is 66 years old and 132-20 in 11 seasons at Alabama, extended his contract by one year on Friday to 2025. It sent a powerful message to coaches (and their recruits) throughout the SEC. The Tide's glorious ride isn't ending anytime soon, and the greatest coach in the history of college football will not be aging out of the sport's most demanding league.
