AP Source: Schnellenberger done after 2011

[NDFan4Life]

Howard Schnellenberger, the 77-year-old Florida Atlantic coach who led Miami to its first national championship, has decided to retire from coaching after this season, a person familiar with the decision told The Associated Press.

The person spoke on condition of anonymity because Schnellenberger is calling a news conference later Thursday to reveal his reasons for retiring.

Schnellenberger is in the final year of his contract with FAU and has said often in recent months that he was not planning to evaluate his coaching future after 2011. School officials said they did not have any immediate comment on what he plans to say, other than noting it was an “important announcement.”

They will go cheap. You'll see this filled by an up and coming DIII/DII/DIAA or a posh Coordinator of the moment.

I agree, they need Leach; and they should not enroll anyone by the name of James.

This smells like a RichRod school to me. Maybe Tressels way back in..
