A truly special visionary and one of the most impactful leaders in South Florida sports history; Boca Raton's Howard Schnellenberger, Head Coach of the FAU's football team, will be the June 1st guest speaker for the Boca Raton Executive Club. He has constructed championship programs in South Florida, and now he is proudly watching the construction of a quickly rising stadium in Boca Raton - the new on-campus home of the Owls!

Coach Schnellenberger's hometown is Louisville, Kentucky where he learned football tactics as a player for "Bear" Bryant & Blanton Collier at the University of Kentucky. He served as an assistant to Collier at Kentucky & Bryant at Alabama. In the NFL, he assisted George Allen with the LA Rams and Don Shula with the Miami Dolphins. He was Head Coach of the Baltimore Coats from 1973 to 1974.

Coach Schnellenberger joined Florida Atlantic University staff May 1, 1998 to build a collegiate football team from "scratch" to establish a program and an on-campus stadium; instrumental in fund raising, and conception of football program and future stadium for FAU. He gained approval from the Board of Regents in January 1999 with the first game played on Sept. 1, 2001. FAU holds the record for the fastest start-up program to earn Division 1-A victory and youngest program to win a bowl game. By 2008 Coach Schnellenberger climbed to the ranks of Divison I-AA, joined a conference & began playing football in the country's highest classification; the Bowl Subdivision grabbing a league title & two (2) bowl championships. Known throughout Florida for his outstanding efforts in resurrecting University of Miami's football program back in the 1980's. Coach Schnellenberger has saved two programs (neither affiliated with a conference) from virtual extinction.
