TITAN ERA TO BEGIN FOR SNOW COLLEGE FOOTBALL
Titan Trimble
announced as head football coach for Snow College at Players Meeting
EPHRAIM,
Utah—January 13, 2005—Snow College today
announced that Titan Trimble is the new head football coach. Bob Trythall,
Snow’s athletic director, made the announcement in a meeting with players this
afternoon. The coaching position opened just before Christmas when the College
and former head coach, Jeff Kilts, decided to go in different directions.
Trimble
takes over after five seasons as offensive coordinator at Snow College. He
coached 7 All American and All conference players during that time including:
quarterbacks, Paul Peterson and Jason Coutts; wide receivers, Aaron Boone, Chad
Mickelsen and A.J. Smith; and offensive linemen, Deuce Lutui and Iosefa Robins.
Trimble coached two All conference players as well – wide receivers, Brian
Romney and Ameen Shaheen.
“Titan
is the right man at the right time for Snow College,” remarked Michael T.
Benson, president of Snow College. “He’s demonstrated to me that he understands
the uniqueness of Snow’s football program. I believe he is the coach to
highlight our strengths and to meet and overcome our challenges.”
Trimble
came to Snow after coordinating the offenses for one season at Cottonwood High
and four seasons at Ogden High. Trimble played college football at Weber State
University where he was a wide receiver for Dave Arslanian. He earned a
bachelor’s in history from Weber State and is currently working on a master’s
from the University of Phoenix. Trimble and his wife Brandy reside in Ephraim
and have five children – including triplets born over the holidays.
“Titan hits the ground
running as head football coach,” said Bob Trythall, Snow’s athletic director.
“He’s been here and has demonstrated the work ethic, desire to engage with the
community, and rapport with Snow players, faculty and staff needed in a head
coach.”
Trimble will retain several
coaches from last season in hopes of maintaining some continuity. Tyler Hughes
will be offensive coordinator, Justin DeCol will remain as secondary coach and
Jason Ah You will continue coaching the defensive line.
“Continuity is something
difficult to maintain in junior college football,” said Trimble. “These coaches
believe in my direction for Snow College football and have already demonstrated
loyalty and hard work in their positions.”
Trimble hopes to retain
Steve Coburn as defensive coordinator and John Hunter as offensive line coach.
Those decisions will be made next week.
Trimble
has large shoes to fill. Former head coach, Jeff Kilts, led the Badgers to
three straight top 15 finishes in the NJCAA poll – including a fourth-ranked
finish in 2003 and a fourteenth-ranked finish in 2004. The Badgers have also
participated in two straight bowl games – defeating Georgia Military in the
Golden Isles Bowl 27-21 in 2003 and Rochester Community College 45-7 in the
Zions Bank Top of the Mountains Bowl in 2004.
Snow College
Snow

campus. The college provides general education and applied technology programs
leading to Associate of Arts, Associate of Science, Associate of Applied
Science and Associate of Pre-Engineering degrees, and certificates of
