Just in the last few years Belichick took NC at 73, Whittingham took UM at 67 and Rich Rod took WV again at 62. I think those ages are accurate. None of those guys had anything to prove.
The Whittingham example isn't that dissimilar to Cignetti. He built a power from nothing and left for the glitz of Michigan. I'll admit I don't know the backstory of whether he really got pushed out the door at Utah, though I'm not sure that really matters.
