Oldest D1 head coach

[fishbane]

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?

Well sure but everyone knows John is the oldest grumpy head coach.

You probably should put this on the College thread. Just a thought.

If Dake ever takes over at Cornell, he will one day be the youngest D1 coach.

Yeah that's what I intended.  Didn't realize I was in the international forum.
