College football • Britt Maughan was named the new head football coach at Snow College, the school announced in a Thursday news release.
Maughan replaces Tyler Hughes, who stepped down on Monday to continue his education full time. Hughes will remain at Snow College through the spring semester, teaching classes and working with Maughan and the rest of the coaching staff to ensure a smooth transition.
Maughan has served the past two years as Snow's defensive coordinator. He was Snow's linebackers coach and recruiting coordinator from 2006 through 2008. He then spent two years as an assistant at the University of Utah.
