Pat Forde has an absolutely brilliant column about Howard on ESPN: The Worldwide Leader In Sports.

I picked FAU over Memphis. The only factor in my decision was Howard.

He was just on College Football Live today. Great interview. Really have to admire what he's done with FAU.

While I have always loathed the U football program, I have always admired Howard Schnellenberger. He is the epitomy of a football coach in the vein of Rockne, Bryant, Lombardi and a precious few others. In an interview with a tv reporter from Memphis regarding the bowl game tonight, he was asked the question I'm sure he is getting sick of "what's the difference coaching FAU and Miami or Oklahoma?" His response "It's one thing to try to revive a viable program and quite another to breathe life into a brand new one" was vintage Schnellenberger and it made me smile when I heard that.

"We went from foreplay -- I think I can use that term these days and not get in trouble -- to conception to birth. It's been a great romance and it's produced, I think, a wonderful child."

He has a way with words...

What a BALLIN' suit he is wearing tonight.

What a BALLIN' suit he is wearing tonight.

That's how a coach should represent himself.

Phil should wear an orange jacket, an orange and white plaid shirt, with a white tie.

Holy mother of pearl. I think that could warp the space and time continuum of the universe and jeopardise life as we know it on this planet.

 

[VolfanMike]

That is a nice suit though.

Two observations from the game tonight:
1. There will not be a better story all bowl season than FAU.
2. Stacey Dales could get me to rethink my philosophy on marriage.

Here we go with the space and time continuum thing again....

I agree with number two 100%

The Matt Mauck (sp) story out of Cincy is my fav though.

 

[Rasputin_Vol]

Wow... Howard wins the big ones.

5-0 lifetime in bowl games. :blink:

 

[myrobbins7]

Good win for him and his team.

Glad I picked the Owls in the VN bowl game picking contest.. :yes:

 

[HawaiiVol]

I didn't give that game a second thought as to who would win. Good for Howard!
