At 82, is he the oldest coach in Football?

Surely there is not many 80 yeard old out there coaching, even in division ii?

For some reason I've always liked him. Maybe it was the leaving tickets for Elvis thing. Lol

I love seeing people that age still being productive. Gives my 49 year old self hope for the future. Ha

Wow, i would have put good money on the fact that i could have sworn he was dead…. I was just thinking last week about the time he got onto the elevator i was working as an usher at the Superdome for a Monday Night Football game in the early 90s.. he wasnt coaching, i think he was commentating on the game or something.. he took a genuine interest in me, a gawky 17 year old nobody, and was pretty engaging for the couple of minutes he was on the elevator .. Man ive been thinking for years that he was dead .

As much as I hated the Falcons back in the day, I must admit they were a fun team to watch with Glanville’s Run-n-shoot offense.

He was an innovator and doesn’t enough credit for his role in helping the game progress forward.

EDIT: I should clarify, he was more of a defensive coach, but he always liked having that aggressive offense on the other side of the ball from where his expertise was. He sanctioned it, and liked gambling on offense a lot. It very much hand his hand-prints on it even without him being the actual playcaller.

How could you not like a guy that told an official “This is the NFL which stands for Not for long when you make ******* calls like that?”

Looking at NW Oklahoma State results from this past season, it looks Glanville got the short end of the stick from the choices....LOL

Currently, he may be the oldest….I remember Marv Levy being up there when he finally retired.
