> "Allen will retire after 40 seasons as the Huskers' head [gymnastics] coach, 
> making him the longest tenured head coach in Nebraska history. 
> His eight NCAA titles are also the most of any head coach in the history of Cornhusker athletics, and second among all men's gymnastics coaches in NCAA history. The 66-year old Allen was the youngest head coach nationally in men's gymnastics upon his hiring in 1969, and retires as the oldest coach in the 
> nation."
