DABEARSDABOMB Posted January 28, 2010 Report Share Posted January 28, 2010 The guy is an offensive guru in the college ranks and has a long history of calling plays. He called them in Tennessee for a couple of years with Vince Young there and while that might not have been a great fit for the offense Chow likes, I think Cutler would be a perfect fit for him. I'd be all for Chow, in fact, I'd like him more than any other candidate. Chow was the offensive mind behind the early USC offenses with Palmer/Leinart.

DABEARSDABOMB Posted January 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2010 Chow also worked with Phillip Rivers at NC State, so it isn't just USC QB's that he's developed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DABEARSDABOMB Posted January 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2010 Chow's Resume: Coaching career Chow served as BYU's offensive coordinator from 1982 to 1999, during which time he helped coach the Cougars to their only national title in 1984, which is also the last time a non-BCS school (sometimes called a mid-major) won the NCAA Division I FBS (then I-A) national championship. The BYU Cougars scored 30 or more points in 106 of 181 games. He then left BYU for a short stint as the offensive coordinator at NC State, before accepting the position of offensive coordinator at the University of Southern California. In 23 seasons as an offensive coordinator, Chow coached 8 of the top 14 career passing-efficiency leaders, and 13 quarterbacks who rank among the top 30 in NCAA history for single-season passing yardage. His list of pupils include: Steve Young; Philip Rivers; Robbie Bosco; and, Heisman Trophy winners Ty Detmer, Carson Palmer, and Matt Leinart. Chow helped lead the Trojans to the 2003 Associated Press (sportswriters' poll) National Championship, (their first national title since 1978), and the 2004 BCS National Championship. He left USC in spring 2005, after unsuccessfully interviewing for the Stanford University head coaching vacancy, for a job offer to be the offensive coordinator of the Tennessee Titans. Their head coach, Jeff Fisher, was a USC graduate. Chow was the Titans' offensive coordinator from 2005 to 2007. During this time, the Titans had non-losing seasons in 2006 (8-8) and 2007 (10-6), and appeared in the 2007 AFC Playoffs. In 2007, the Titans were 21st overall in total offense, with a total of nine touchdown passes.[4] On January 15, 2008, after being fired by the Titans following the 2007 season, Chow was hired by new UCLA head coach Rick Neuheisel as offensive coordinator.[1] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
