Clarence James Griffith was the head coach of the Colorado State college football program from 1901 to 1903. A graduate of Iowa State,[1] Griffith was the assistant coach under George Toomey at Colorado State in 1900. When Toomey stepped down after the controversy of Joseph Dibble being a professional, Griffith took over as head coach for the remainder of the 1901 season. He also coached the Aggies in 1902 but resigned in 1903 after the birth of his first child, in Colorado.[2]
He died at Idaho in 1937, aged 60, of heart failure.[3]
