TREV STRIKES AGAIN!
EDSBS —
Trev lives! Again!
The content of this piece is innocuous enough: Norm Chow WOO, UCLA=”wha? suddenly potentially good?”, but that’s not why we posted it. We posted it because, watching it, our mind wandered to the image of Trev doing this in front of a fake Atlanta backdrop in his rec room, wearing boxers and and no pants but with the sport coat on to give the television illusion, doing take after take and berating himself with “No. NO! STUPID TREV!” and getting all red-faced and teary in between takes as his wife works the camera and tries ...

Chow: UCLA hire has nothing to do with burning, passionate hatred for Carroll
yourfaceisasportsblog.com 1/24/2008 — New UCLA offensive coordinator Norm Chow said today that his decision to return to the college coaching ranks after having been an assistant with the NFL's Baltimore Ravens was all about opportunity, and certainly has nothing to do with a burning, passionate hatred for USC head coach Pete Carroll that has built up since he left the Trojans in 2004.

Who is in and who is out? A Look at UCLA Football's Soft Commits for 2008
guttylittlebruins.com 1/28/2008 — As far as I can tell, there are 3, maybe 4 commits that I would be concerned with. First, the retention of DeWayne Walker along with the hiring of Norm Chow has radically changed the recruiting landscape of southern california, and arguably the country. I’m even hearing that some SC solid commits started to rethink those commitments once Norm Chow got into the picture. Youtube highlights included.

No NC's Since Chow Left — Conquest Chronicles
I often read elsewhere that USC has underachieved in not winning an MNC since Norm Chow left at the end of the 2004 season. Well, yeah ok so we haven't won one so what's the point? Chow didn't win them all by himself, one of the criticisms of Chow is that he either doesn't like to recruit or that he isn't very effective at it. The talent that has been amassed at USC over the past coupe of ...
Titans Offense: Receivers the Problem, Not Norm Chow — Bleacher Report
Former Tennessee offensive coordinator Norm Chow, whom the Titans fired last week, was destined to fail in Nashville.

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

Ahem. How’s this for totally misreading a scenario?
“The LA Times’ Chris Foster and Sam Wallace quote newly hired UCLA coach Rick Neuheisel as hoping to make a run at former Carson Palmer tutor Norm Chow.

Norm Chow Named Offensive Coordinator at UCLA — 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 ...
My Thoughts on Chow to ucla — Conquest Chronicles
A Debt of Thanks So the circle is complete. First, I couldn't be more happy for Norm Chow and his family.
