RIP Howard Schnellenberger 1934-2021

Legendary college football coach Howard Schnellenberger dies at 87

He rescued the sport from being dropped, created "the state of Miami" and began a dynasty.

Thank you Coach.

RIP

Almost certainly underrated as a coach by most current fans.

Rest in peace

Great point. He does not have the mystique of a Bear Bryant. And he's not the new hotness of a Lincoln Riley. But CFB would look radically different if he hadn't been part of it. Definitely on the underrated Mount Rushmore.
