You mean the end of the Saban era. Mullen is young. Saban is not.
You aren't wrong about the ages, but Mullen has been coaching against Saban for basically the entire Saban era, so the original statement wasn't wrong either. 2009-2017 at State, 2020 and 2021 at Florida.
He's also not really "young". He's not old, but he's about to turn 50. Lincoln Riley is 38 - he's young. Mullen is in the prime of his career.

No, sorry, Saban has been a college head coach since 1995 and 1 year earlier at Toledo (not including NFL) and needed the better talent base at LSU to win his first natty in 2003. Florida has advantages in recruiting that Mullen has never had before. It will be Mullen and Smart fighting it out for years unless Smart goes to Alabama after Saban retires. Mullen has a shot to win some natties, maybe even before Saban retires, though that will be tough. Saban is, after all, the best ever.
