Didn't even realize he was the coach of FAU... It will be neat to play a game against such a legendary coach. He pretty much made Miami what it is today. Although he sure made some odd career moves: Leaving Miami for the USFL? Resigning after one season at OU?

He coached the All-Star Bowl game that D-Mo played in last year as well.

In his one season at OU he went 5-5-1 after pi$$ing off all the alumni and donors with his line about when he was through rewriting the record books at OU people wouldn forget who Bud Wilkinson and Barry Switzer were.

In 88 the Pokes started the season with their first ever night game and thumped BwhinerU 24 to 10. Had it not been for a Byu punt hitting a Wyoming player on the back and Byu then covering the ball deep in Wyoming territory and scoring a touchdown the score would have been 24 to 3. The next game was in Louisville so schnellenberger shoots his mouth off to the Louisville press "what's all the big deal about Wyoming they beat a lousy team". The quote ended up in Wyoming's locker room and the boys gave him a demonstration of what the big deal was!
