Although these quotes REALLY dont sound like Howard stuff. Has he ever really used this type of language to ANY type of reporter?

Confidence High as Owls Prepare for Texas
As FAU prepares for its first real game since the New Orleans Bowl last Dec. 21, confidence is high that the Owls can go into Austin and give the Longhorns a tough game - not just on the scoreboard but in the trenches.
Coach Howard Schnellenberger is firm in his belief that the FAU defense, which often won the turnover battles last season, is even better and meaner in 2008.
Schnellenberger believes that a mean, tough defense can stifle a Texas offense that thrives on athleticism, not physicality. While it may be hard to fathom that a Sun Belt team is scheming to overpower a team from the BIG XII, that is the game plan Schnellenberger is sticking to - at least out loud.
"Once we step out on the field with Texas, the only ones who can help us is ourselves. Texas always has a very polished team that has great talent, but they aren’t tough, they aren’t a physically tough team."
FAU returns eight starters on defense, and Schnellenberger is counting on them as well as four experienced backups moving into starting roles to lay the wood on the Texas receivers.
"My defense will get to a point where they will be mean, nasty and ornery bastards and that’s what you need for Texas. Texas will move the ball with tit-for-tat, screens and options, but we’ll make them pay a price whenever they catch one of those dinky passes. We’ll put three hats on them and make them not want to get up, that’s the way to beat Texas."
Sounds like a plan to me.

I don't really know if HS said it or not, but speaking from experience, coach was always a little more open with those close to the program. He was always very open and honest with me, but I was careful not to jeopardize the trust we had built when he would say certain things.
Maybe he is like that with Jay?
Well the cat is out of the bag, Both Rivals and the other Horns boards are lighting up.
Next time Jay keep these lil tidbits to your self instead of handing out Bullitien Board fodder.
