Titans offensive coordinator Norm Chow is expected to interview for the head coaching position at UCLA by the end of the week, sources familiar with the situation said. Indications are Chow or his agent have been contacted by a search firm working on behalf of UCLA, and that the interview could take place Saturday before the Titans play at Kansas City on Sunday, or at some point after the game.

Why is this guy not on Michigan's list? An offensive genious? Got forbid Bill Martin would ever want that.

December 13, 2007  07:28 AM ET

Clarifcation....this is the type of guy we need. Fans would welcome him, clueless Martin remains clueless.

December 13, 2007  08:08 AM ET

Norm Chow is long over due for a big time head coaching job. UCLA would be foolish not to hire him.

December 13, 2007  08:46 AM ET

WOW! Its about time somebody noticed Norm Chow. Suddenly UCLA has two great coaches to choose from, the other being their Interim Coach, DeWayne Walker. Don't blow this opportunity!

Norm Chow is completely overdue for a coaching position. Got to agree with BCS on this, why isn't he on Michigan's radar?

December 13, 2007  09:20 AM ET

JHova, BCS,

Its because he is a good prospect.. Martin only looks at people who underachieve, like Miles, Cameron, etc... etc...

December 13, 2007  09:22 AM ET

Norm Chow would be a great fit at UCLA, He should have been in the radar for all the schools that are looking for coaches this year.

would the big ten allow an offensive genious to coach UM?

December 13, 2007  10:27 AM ET

I don't want anything to do with Norm Chow. After BYU the guy clearly has shown a lack of interest in committing to anyone long term. He's simply outdated. UCLA can have him.

December 13, 2007  10:28 AM ET

anyone ever wonder why Chow has never held a head coaching job before? did it ever occur to you that he's not a head coach for a reason? as a Buckeye fan i would LOVE to see a guy with ZERO head coaching experience take the job up there. I think Chow is in the same category as Mike Martz and Dirk Koetter, great offensive minds but a disaster at running the entire operation.

December 13, 2007  10:46 AM ET

UCLA has finally gotten smart. This guy wants to coach, knows the PAC 10, knows very well the strengths and weaknesses - and all the schemes - of USC, is a great offensive minded-strategist. HEY UCLA: GET HIM!

December 13, 2007  10:46 AM ET

Celtsfan - And you know this how? He's been an asst. for some great head coaches. Plus, he wouldn't start out at 1.5 $$ UCLA would be a nice fit, I think he would work out in a warm climate state.

Hey CeltsFan,
If as you say, Chow "has never held a head coaching job," how do you know he would be "a disaster at running the entire operation?" Your implied prescience is actually baseless opinionated speculation. In fact, running the offense at SC all those years proves the opposite. He will certainly do better than Dorrell.

Kraz be careful what you wish for...

December 13, 2007  11:21 AM ET

Wow.. he would be a good fit..

December 13, 2007  11:21 AM ET

Michigan or maybe just their AD is under the presumption that UM is a top tier postion, I dont see it that way anymore, Yes a great school, great traditions, but maybe time is slowly passing UM by, I hope they land a diamond in the rough like OSU did, they need it, and so does the Big Ten.

December 13, 2007  11:31 AM ET

Kraz, are you high? Some would argue that the Trojans were better with Chow. The guy knows Pete Caroll scheme as good as anyone. It would be HUGE for UCLA to take Chow.

December 13, 2007  11:36 AM ET

The Trojans havent been the same since Norm left.

December 13, 2007  11:59 AM ET

xxx84xxx: It pains me to say this but you are correct. The days of Michigan being MICHIGAN are gone.

 
December 13, 2007  12:22 PM ET

J. Hova, i dont think Michigan is done... every program has ups and downs but if they are not careful with who they pick as the next head coach, there is a lot of room for them to go down... just look at Nebraska and ND (who by the way would have loved to have UM record this season).
