that would be interesting if it happened. he may take a year off, but UCLA may be able to get him on campus. that ucla/usc rivalry could be sparked back up pretty soon if things continue to pick up for the Bruins.

Chow takes UCLA job

Norm Chow has accepted UCLA offensive coordinator's job, according to sources. Here is something I wrote for online.

UCLA coach Rick Neuheisel completed the daily doubles of coordinators when Norm Chow accepted the offensive coordinator's role Sunday, according to sources.
Chow, the former Tennessee Titans and USC offensive coordinator, gives Neuheisel a formidable staff along with defensive coordinator DeWayne Walker.
Ironically, Neuheisel, Chow and Walker each interviewed for the head coaching job.
A UCLA official declined comment.
Chow was a long-time offensive coordinator at BYU, but made his mark nationally as the offensive coordinator at USC, tutoring Heisman Trophy-winning quarterbacks Carson Palmer and Matt Leinart.
He spent the last three seasons as the offensive coordinator of the NFL’s Tennessee Titans, but was fired last week. Neuheisel was waiting for Chow to decide whether or not he would return to college football, attempt to secure another NFL job or take a year off from coaching.
Part of the lure of coaching at UCLA is Chow’s family remains in Southern California, where he owns a house.
He will take over a UCLA offense that struggled the last two seasons, but there is experience at quarterback with seniors Ben Olson and Patrick Cowan.
