BOYNTON BEACH, Florida - Howard Schnellenberger's home is like a museum. Among his articles there is a caricature signed by George H. W. Bush a note by Burt Reynolds, the movie star and former half-soulet of the state of Florida; and a shirt by perhaps the best quarterback who trained Schnellenberger, Joe Namath.
Schnellenberger's career for nearly six decades as a football coach is a reel of sepia lights. He was in a lot of special and memorable places: he's like footballer Forrest Gump, except that he actually trained Gump's fictional character when he returned to Alabama. More than any other, this season has shown how important Schnellenberger has played in the configuration of modern university football.
