[quote]Clifford Snow, a veteran football administrator and coach, is the new director of football operations at Kentucky, Coach Joker Phillips has announced.
Snow will assist Phillips in all football administration duties, as well as serving as the liaison to compliance, academics and other university areas. He also is responsible for team travel, coordinating clinics, preseason training camp, football budget and supervising the football support staff.
Snow comes to UK from East Carolina, where he served in the same position for the last five seasons. Prior to ECU, he spent six years as the director of football operations and special assistant to the head coach at South Carolina.
“I worked with Clifford when we were together at South Carolina (in the 2002 season) and he was director of football operations for Coach (Lou) Holtz,” Phillips said. “I really like his organizational skills. No job was too big for him and no job was too small. I’m glad he’s a part of ‘Operation Win.’”
A native of Bristol, Conn., Snow played defensive back at Central Connecticut State, earning his bachelor’s and master’s degrees in biology. After graduation, he spent three and one-half years as a biological research technician, studying Lyme disease. At the same time, he began his coaching career as an assistant coach for four seasons at The Gilbert School in Winsted, Conn. He then moved to Windsor (Conn.) HS, spending four seasons as an assistant and before being elevated to head coach for three years.
Snow entered the collegiate ranks on Skip Holtz’ staff at the University of Connecticut, where he coached the defensive line from 1995-98 and added the duties of recruiting coordinator in his last season. UConn’s best season came in 1998, when the Huskies went 10-3 and made their first appearance in the Division I-AA playoffs, advancing to the second round.[/quote]
