Dang, I wonder if any other college program can say that.

I doubt it. The only one that comes to mind that would be remotely close would be Virginia Tech. Frank Beamer (I'm assuming there are no other VT ex-coaches out there) is 74. Justin Fuentes is at least a little bit on the hot seat there. My money would be on Fuentes leaving the post one way or another before Beamer passes.

The longest living head coach that is also your current head coach? I think you have to dip into college basketball to make an comparison. That's Kryzewski/Boheim territory.
