You don’t need an excuse for not retiring if you love the work you are doing. Verdi wrote his last opera, Falstaff, when he was 79, and it was a great success.

Pretty sure Verdi did not have to work in front of 100,000 people every Saturday and have 1/2 million alumni looking over his shoulder.

Verdi could set his own hours. football headcoach at that level is extremely demanding. Dick Vermeil didn’t even recognize his own son. College is even worse than the pros with constant recruitment, N-I-L and the transfer portal.

A football coach needs to work long days and work hard. The most successful have been known to sleep 4-6 hours at night. Stay all night in the office, and put that kind of effort into things for about 9 months a year. The rest of the time is scouting, and perusing other players rosters. It is A YOUNG MANS GAME, being a Coach.
