Schnellenberger is known as the “father of FAU football.”
On Friday, Sept. 10, FAU held an event at the football stadium to honor the life of coach Howard Schnellenberger. Schnellenberger passed away earlier this year on March 27 at the age of 87.
“Coach Schnellenberger was truly the father of FAU football,” Vice President and Director of Athletics Brian White said.
The event started at 7 p.m. with a tribute montage on the scoreboard, which lasted until about 7:30 p.m. The main event lasted about four hours (including a short rain delay).
