Conley Snidow Jr., the second-winningest football coach in Wofford College history, died Saturday in Midlothian, Va. He was 91.

Snidow compiled a 77-59-4 record while coaching the Terriers from 1953 through 1966. He held the record for most wins at Wofford for more than 35 years - current coach Mike Ayers surpassed him in 2001.

"He was just a super, super guy," Ayers said Saturday after coaching Wofford to a 28-7 victory over The Citadel in Charleston. "I know he's going to be missed, but he'll always be in the Wofford lore."

Sad, but not too sad. He lived a long and fruitful life, and he made a difference in other people's lives. And he's definitely in a better place looking down on all of us now.

RIP Coach.

Dittos. Wofford has always seem to have a knack for attracting good & classy coaches (like Jim Brakefield for instance.)

The best part of the article, for me, is the coaches remembering how Coach helped other coaches and how much respect coaches had for him.

The coaching fraternity is like that. It is a trait I try to pass on to this day.
