Farewell to Lou Saban - Longtime College and NFL Head Coach

Farewell to Lou Saban - Longtime College and NFL Head Coach

Football was his life. Lou will be remembered for two great
accomplishments: he coached O. J. Simpson in the NFL and ran the New York Yankees for George Steinbrenner during his career that spanned five decades. Lou died on Sunday at the age of 87.

Saban had an impressive resume: he played football at Indiana University and for the Cleveland Browns of the NFL before embarking on an unmatched head coaching career. His legacy will live on in the chronicles of history for the Boston Patriots and Buffalo Bills of the old American Football League and the NFL's Denver Broncos, along with college jobs at Miami, Army, Northwestern and Maryland.
