YOUR OVERHEARD, SPECIOUS COACHING RUMOR OF THE DAY
From a source, and a good one, we present to you the specious, fact-esque coaching rumor of the day: Norm Chow was offered the UCLA coaching job on Saturday. No word on whether he’s taking it, though we think (if true) he’d be mad not to take it and finish out his coaching career as a head coach in the Pac-10 working in a milieu he’s familiar with and in a conference he’s succeeded in as a coordinator.
Oh, and he can call plays like an alchemist at his best. See:
Plus, he’d be the first Asian-American coach in college football, unless you count our recently departed barbarian Mongolian emperor Ed Orgeron. (We do, but only if he wants us to, of course. We’ll call him Shirley if he wants us to because we are still afraid.) This means this is a great investment on UCLA’s part for the long-term: if successful, they’re gonna have him around a long time, because Asians live forever, man.

A lot of USC fans are petrified if Norm Chow was hired. A lot of us know that NOrm was the reason that USC came back, and when he left, USC slowly went into decline.
A UCLA HC to Norm Chow would be a nightmare scenario. A lot of UCLA fans are pretty excited about this.

I don’t understand how a true Trojan fan can make fun of an offensive coaching genius that helped get ‘SC to where we’re at today. Just because he (might) head over to UCLA doesn’t lessen his accomplishments he achieved over here at ‘SC. Leave the racial jokes to the high schoolers and show some class.

Oh man, I just checked out the loons at Bruins Nation are they are in a full lather about Chow. Hilarious
The comedy from those bozo’s is not going to let up anytime soon. They are no going to lose any momentum and are going to be tearing into the new coach with as much ferocity as they went after Dorrell in no time. Unless they get a “fantasy” hire, in which case they will wait until he loses a game.
