The book chronicles Schnellenberger’s extensive career as an NCAA and NFL football coach.
As the offensive coordinator for the Alabama football team from 1961 to 1965, Schnellenberger worked under Paul “Bear” Bryant. During his time as offensive coordinator, Schnellenberger helped the team win three national championships and recruit Joe Namath, celebrated college and NFL quarterback.
Schnellenberger will be speaking and signing copies of his book at Barnes & Noble in Midtown Village on Friday.
Barnes & Noble store manager Mary Wendt said she is looking forward to the coach’s arrival.
“He’s a pioneer in college and professional football coaching,” she said. “He’s had an incredible career. This is going to be a big event.”
