#106 Florida Atlantic (Pre-Snap Read) - MG61 - 05-16-2011 07:26 AM No. 106: Florida Atlantic By Paul Myerberg // May 16, 2011 Joe Paterno is Penn State, seeing that he’s been serving in some capacity at the university since 1950 — meaning he’s been at Penn State about as long as Charlie Brown has been on the comics page. Howard Schnellenberger — or The Voice, as some have called him — hasn’t been at Florida Atlantic quite so long, nowhere near as long, in fact, but his impact on the program is in many ways comparable to the impact Paterno has had in Happy Valley. The university’s first director of football operations, Schnellenberger led the inaugural search for a head coach, and before Dick Cheney made it cool, searched under every rock and stone before eventually choosing himself as the best coach F.A.U. could find. Since 2001, he’s been the one and only coach in program history, leading the Owls to a conference title in 2007 and back-to-back bowl berths from 2007-8. Why the trip down memory lane? Because with a new stadium on the horizon, here’s guessing F.A.U. doesn’t go much further with a 77-year-old coach, opting instead to go younger — much, much younger. So this might be the last year for The Voice; open up one Saturday to turn on the Owls and pay your respects.
