Louis Henry Saban a former football player and coach passed away this past Sunday, March 29th, 2009 at the age of 87. He was in the sports business for over fifty years and the first thirty-three years he had 18 jobs and spent generally 2 years at each. At one point he was the president of the New York Yankees. Even though I have be raised by my dad to hate the Yankees since he grew up in Baltimore, and raised to like the Yankees by my mom who grew up in New York, I have to offer some compassion to this accomplished gentleman. His resume as a coach is quite length and includes: a 1966 Maryland coach, a 1967-1971 Denver Broncos coach, 1972-1976 Buffalo Bills coach, and a 1979 Army coach. He was also a quarterback and linebacker at Indiana University and an all-league linebacker for the Cleveland Browns. Saban was a well established sports guru and I really admire his ability to be such a success and historical figure in the sports world!
Thats all for now in the Life with Lizard!
