Orange going after Chow?

By Scott Wolf

Wednesday, December 15, 2004 - USC offensive coordinator Norm Chow finished second at Stanford and spurned Brigham Young last week during their respective coaching searches, but that doesn't mean there might not be another option.

Last week, Syracuse gave coach Paul Pasqualoni a vote of confidence to return for a 15th season; however, the school president said the Orange's new athletics director would be empowered to evaluate the football program and make decisions.

USC senior associate athletics director Daryl Gross will be introduced as Syracuse's athletics director Friday, which means he could have the power to fire Pasqualoni and, if desired, hire Chow.

But Chow said he doesn't think he'll be coaching anywhere else next season.

"There's no job open," Chow said. "I'm not looking to leave. We'll see what happens. I'm just trying to win the next game and see what happens.

"I don't have another job. I enjoy it here. We'll see what happens. I like being here."

Chow said he was disappointed he didn't get the Stanford job, after finishing second to Pittsburgh coach Walt Harris.

"Of course I was, but that lasts two minutes, and you move on," he said. "This is a good university. It's a fun place to be."

Will New SU Athletic Director Bring New Football Coach?

On Friday, Syracuse University is expected to introduce Daryl Gross as it's new athletic director. Gross was most recently the senior associated athletic director at the University of Southern California. Sources tell us that Gross will meet with all of the SU coaches in the afternoon and will them hold a press conference. And reports from Los Angeles say that one of the first things Gross may do is fire SU football coach Paul Pasqualoni and replace him with USC assistant coach Norm Chow. Chow has been the Trojans offensive coordinator for the last four years and is considered one of the hottest coaching prospects in the country. He's also coached at N.C. State and BYU.

That would be sweet. BE would have some nice coaches.

1. Coach Rod at WVA
2. Petrino at UL
3. Edsall at UCONN
4. Coach Chow at SU?
5. Coach DeAntonio at Cincy

Thats a great lineup. Coach Chow will bring Cuse back immediately.

Why did BYU pass over Norman Chow TWICE? He seemed like the logical suceessor to Lavelle Edwards. Wasn't he the BYU offesive coordinator for something like 20 years? I think he's Mormon too. I don't get it.

Chow has turned down head coaching jobs in the past, but with the new AD coming from USC that will have a lot to do with what happens.

Chow said no to BYU

thats all true. but coach Chow's wife loves the west coast,and he is set at USC for as long as he wants. i doubt he would take a job on the east coast

Not ture. Chow's daughter actually graduated from SU, so there is some ties there. I think Coach Chow also realizes it is his last run at a BCS bowl as a head coach. SU offers a great opportunity through the BE. Also, his offense would be killer in a dome.

All the SU fans are hoping the new AD will fire coach P after the bowl game and get coach Chow. If not this year, probably next year after coach P has another one of those 6-5 years.

BTW, coach Chow said no to BYU this year when they called. LSU job might be open soon, but I am not sure he will go there. I know Kentucky offered him the head coaching job before and he also said no.

I think SU is a good fit other than the weather.

BUMP

Any chance of a coching change after tonights pathetic performance?

God no one knows what CUSE team gonna show up on the field. One week they look like world beaters in trashing BC and now they look horrible. Majority of this has to be coaching. Also their offense looks very one dimensional.

Coach Chow cant get here fast enough. These guys need a real coach BADLY.

Ditto!
