New Times: "Schnellenberger Retires... Four Years Too Late"
While most media outlets have used Schnellenberger's retirement announcement to reflect on his accomplishments and effect on college football, the New Times used it as an opportunity to throw in a few punches like:
"Truth is, Schnellenberger nearly brought prominence to a school once nicknamed "F-A-Who?" Instead, he stayed long enough to watch that moniker become relevant again."

What a joke…
No, not being a homer, that's just HORRIBLE journalism. Take a look at what the guy has done every where he has been (aside from a "never should have taken it" job at OU) before you go and write some pap and drivel like that.
The records accomplished at FAU alone speak volumes for the architect that the man is. And, we would be in no position to pass the torch for more hoped for greatness had it not been for him. No team, no Bowls, no Stadium.
For the sake of fairness…

The best part of the article are the couple comments at the bottom, even his 4 readers disagree with his piece.
FAU - We got Bowls!
