66 is could considered late 60's....70 is considered 70's......How is that a false statement?

No but you show up in every Saban retirement thread lecturing us about the inevitable fall and clucking about how the cracks are showing....just after we just played for title and won the title year before. I guess a last second loss in the title game is "cracks in the program".
There is no evidence whatsoever that Saban is slowing down anytime soon.

People, both alabama fans and other, have an amazing ability to believe Saban was unstoppable early in his career even though every team needed breaks to win it all.
2009 - rocky block, auburn game, etc.
2011 - home loss, needs chips to fall to make it into title
2012 - home loss, ending of SEC Champ was very tight
2015 - home loss, Bama probably should have lost that title game ( and should have probably won this one so its a wash)
just saying that the program has been very steady in performance, a couple bounces here and there and its a title, a couple don't go our way and its a loss. Same as it ever was under Saban

this is sort of true. I find it interesting looking at different coaches and when their return start to diminish. For the "good but not great" coaches like a Les Miles it seems like very late 50's early 60's is when the game passes them by and they are unable to adapt. For those who do adapt, the true greats, it tends to buy them 6 or 7 years of extended relevance or so (roughly).
It's just an interesting subject.

You must be thinking of someone else bc i don't think cracks are showing yet.

Well the evidence would be history of other all time great coaches. Even across all sports the oldest you see is usually late 60's. I think the Marlins manager was in his early 70's.
