You would not be able to tell that Nick Saban is about to turn 71 this Halloween. He looks a decade younger, he still runs onto the football field with the same vigor he had before doctors replaced his hip a couple years back and there is no evidence that he plans on walking away anytime soon.
Alabama, in fact, is actively taking commitments from blue-chip recruits who won’t even enroll until 2024, which would put Saban several steps closer to 80 by the time they’re eligible for the NFL draft.
