Let's make this birthday one to remember.

61 years old (Born on January 20, 1964)

Happy Birthday, Coach Gottfried! You're the only guy we know who can walk into Raleigh and immediately sweeten things up—taking the Wolfpack straight to the Sweet 16 in your very first season. Clearly, you have a knack for making basketball magic happen faster than most of us can tie our shoes.

Here's wishing you another year filled with buzzer-beaters, thrilling victories, and fewer gray hairs from nail-biting finishes. May your birthday be as memorable as that incredible tournament run—and may your cake defense be just as strong as your team's on-court hustle. Cheers to many more winning seasons ahead!
