fishbane Posted August 22 Share Posted August 22 On FRL today they were discussing the coaching moves at UNC Chapel Hill and OSU. It came up that John Smith was 58 years old and they couldn't think of anyone older. He can't be the oldest head coach in D1. When listening Rob Koll immediately came to mind. He won NCAAs in 1988 (UNC's 2nd ever) the same year John Smith won his second title. They must be about the same age. Who are the other elder statesmen in the D1 coaching ranks? John Smith 1988 graduate of OSU 58 years old. OSU head coach Rob Koll 1988 graduate of UNC Chapel Hill. Stanford head coach. Tom Borrelli 1979 graduate of the Citadel. CMU Head coach. - His name came up but they weren't sure of his age. Nate Carr 1983 graduate of ISU. 63 years old. Davidson head coach. Kevin Dresser 1986 graduate of the University of Iowa. 60 years old. ISU head coach. Pat Santoro 1989 graduate of Pitt. Lehigh head coach. Mark Manning 1985 graduate of University of Nebraska-Omaha. Nebraska Lincoln head coach. - He also came up. Roger Reina 1984 graduate of the University of Pennsylvania. Current Penn head coach. Mark Cody 1985 graduate of University of Missouri. Head coach Presbyterian College. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
