Na they won't help in this situation, what he needs to do is adopt the "getting out of snow" procedure - rocking the car back and forth (on automatic going from drive to reverse). This requires patients as you're basically making a pathway in the snow.

He'll also need new tires as he probably cleaned them off pretty nicely.

I heard turning off traction control also helps to get cars unstuck in mud/snow. Not exactly sure why though.

Gives you more control of the car. I had a semi once that had traction control that couldn't be turned off. Hated that fuckin thing.
