BRISTOL, Connecticut (Ticker) -- Norm Chow apparently is
heading back to the college game.
Chow was hired as UCLA's new offensive coordinator Monday,
according to a report on ESPN.com.
Citing anonymous sources, the web site reported that UCLA likely
will formally introduce Chow at a news conference Monday.
Chow, 61, spent the past three seasons as the offensive
coordinator of the NFL's Tennessee Titans before being fired
from that post Tuesday.
Renowned for his past success developing quarterbacks, Chow was
brought in to Tennessee to mentor Vince Young, the 2006 NFL
Offensive Rookie of the Year who took a major step back this
past season.
Although Tennessee went 10-6 and reached the AFC playoffs, Young
threw just nine touchdowns against 17 interceptions.
Chow joined the Titans in 2005 from Southern California, where
he worked with Heisman Trophy-winning quarterbacks Carson Palmer
and Matt Leinart.
Now Chow evidently is headed to UCLA, where he will join new
head coach Rick Neuheisel.
Also considered an offensive guru, Neuheisel - a former Bruins
quarterback - accepted the UCLA job December 29 after spending
the past three seasons as an assistant with the Baltimore
Ravens.
