Coaching career

He began his coaching career at the high school level with positions at Berkeley High in 1976 and Winters High in 1977-78. Before arriving at Boise State, Snow spent three years at Laney College in Oakland, CA, where he was the secondary coach in 1979 and the co-defensive coordinator in 1980 and 1981.

From 1982-86, the Winters, CA native, served on the staff at Boise State for head coaches Lyle Setencich and Jim Criner. Snow was the defensive coordinator for the Broncos in his last four seasons. His 1986 squad was ranked sixth in the nation in total defense, allowing just 269.4 yards per game and recorded two shutouts. It also yielded just 80.3 yards on the ground to rank fourth in the nation in that category. In his final three seasons at Boise State, Snow served as assistant to the head coach in addition to his duties as defensive coordinator.
