Schnellenberger’s career speak for itself. In April of 1998 he was asked to consider a project. Weigh the facts, research the possibilities and explore a community's interest in supporting the addition of football to FAU's sports roster.
By 2008 Head Coach Schnellenberger had welcomed the first recruiting class; climbed the ranks of Division I-AA, including a national semi-final appearance; joined a conference and began playing football in the country's highest classification, the Bowl Subdivision; and grabbed a league title and two bowl championships to add to his collection.
When you consider all the "firsts" that Florida Atlantic University's football team has accomplished, it is hard to believe. What may be even more difficult to comprehend is that legendary Schnellenberger accomplished a "first" as well in 2007.
When the 74-year-old program builder was named 2007 Sun Belt Coach of the Year, it marked the first time he had earned a conference award.
Schnellenberger has resurrected two programs from virtual extinction."
