Vince Young’s Hands Tied by Norm Chow
Published 8/6/2008 by Larry Brown at Larry Brown Sports
... Vince Young certainly harped on a few themes there, saying Heimerdinger’s more aggressive and unpredictable. VY also makes it clear that under Chow he couldn’t run as much nor throw the ball downfield too much. Obviously I’m not in the Titans film room or huddle, but I can tell you a few things. For one, Chow’s track record is pretty legit. Secondly, running only lasts for so long for QBs in the NFL. I’m sure VY would have run more if he didn’t have the quad and leg injuries last year. And let’s not ...

Take a step back on UCLA

People are really flying off the deep end with this UCLA hiring of Norm Chow . Although, it's not just the hiring of Chow that has the other people in Southern California excited, it's the whole prospect of Rick Neuheisel, DeWayne Walker, and Norm Chow teaming to create the most formidable coaching triumvirate, in maybe the country.

The Psychology of Norm: Chow is UCLA’s New Offensive Coordinator

Posted 1/22/2008 on SportsHubLA

Part of Rick Neuheisel’s appeal to UCLA when they hired him to coach their football team- aside from seeming to be one of the only people around who actually wanted the job- is that his confidence and accessible personality make Neuheisel well suited to operate in a town where Pete Carroll walks on water. That’s a [...]

So Slick Rick has convinced the mastermind to join his merry gang in Westwood. It’s a shot across USC’s bow, as much as anything can be a shot across USC’s bow these days. Maybe Pete Carroll will take time out from signing five-star recruits to notice that his former playcaller... Continue reading...

Norm Chow Named Offensive Coordinator at UCLA

Posted 1/21/2008 on Music City Miracles

as 2tonedBLUE mentioned in the diaries, Norm Chow has been named the new offensive coordinator at UCLA. This does not come as a surprise to me because he is from the west coast, and Rick Neuheisel had said he wanted Chow to come out there. It is pretty obvious to me that Chow's style is more suited for the college game. He is more of a teacher than anything, and that works better ...

A Debt of Thanks So the circle is complete. First, I couldn't be more happy for Norm Chow and his family. He gets to do what loves to do in a city he has adopted as a place to live and he gets to do it in the spot light. In my eyes I owe him a debt of gratitude for helping USC achieve all they have because of his influence and development of talent. There is no need to be bitter about is ...

Norm Chow Hired at UCLA

The tide has ultimately shifted in the Los Angeles rivalry. He's joined on with Rick Neuheisel making one of the best coaching tandems in the entire nation. Chow was unfairly discarded as the offensive coordinator for the Tittans just a few weeks ago and Chow was being interviewed for the head coaching job at UCLA.

Norm Chow to UCLA

Well, that takes some sting out of the performance by the basketball team, doesn't it? UCLA now has arguably too of the most coveted coordinators in college football, to go along with what is currently a top ten recruiting class. Next year may be a tad rough, but the future looks very bright. Weird to think that I'll have two fairly decent college football teams to root for in the near future.
