Chow to become Hawaii head coach

| | Comments (10) |

Former UCLA offensive coordinator Norm Chow will get his first head coaching job, it appears.

The Honolulu Star Advertiser is reporting that the Utah offensive coordinator will take reins of the Warriors, and that an introductory press conference will be held as early as tomorrow.

This will be Chow's sixth job since leaving BYU after the 1999 season, and his fourth since 2007. The former USC offensive coordinator had been clamoring for a head coaching position, but acknowledged that maybe the ship had passed last year. He was among three finalists for the Hawaii job.

Coach Chow will do a fine job. He knows college football inside and out and created success at the highest level. Unfortunately it just didnt click with CRN. The Warriors got a good one.

He is a big bore, is he going to put recruits to sleep? Chow is only good if he has really good players, he builts nothing.

Too bad ASU didn't hire him, be an easy win.

Hip hip hooray for Norm.

As an SC fan, we loved how he brought 2 national championships to the Trojans in 2003 and 2004 and nearly a 3rd straight in 2005.

And as a, what, 63 or 64 year old man, this is his last hurrah and it is fantastic he got it. And for anyone who knows Oahu, there can't be a better place to work, or play.

I'm happy for Chow. He can pull the most out of any QB.

A hundred bucks he won't be running the pistol. ;)

Didn't realize that this was a Trojan site, with the leis and kisses being tossed to old Norm.

I'm writing from a bar overlooking Diamond Head, and in my new incarnation I'm from New Jersey, but it seems to me that the new Rainbow Warrior's new HC was a guy as much blame for the inferior performance of the UCLA offense as was Coach Neu, who has been excoriated by Commentors on Jon's blog.

Let's ne realistic...CNC has come home to semi-retirement for a few years coaching the moribund Hawai'i U. FB team.
