Norm Chow and Tim Davis to the Utes?

I don't know what to think of Chow's time with the Titans. First of all, I think he's better suited as a College Coordinator and he was also saddled with the impossible task of developing Vince Young into an NFL QB. If Vince Young ever gets a chance to start in the NFL again, he's not finished getting OC's fired.

So why did his offense not pan out at UCLA?
 
LOL

Excited over Chow?

He looked decent at USC when he had the best athletes in the NCAA on his team. Even still, the strength of USC was always the defense. The offense just had to not mess up and played conservatively (not necessarily because the defense was so good. But because Chow quite honestly, was very predictable.

At Tenn, he played way too conservatively and was fired.

At UCLA, his offense failed to produce any results.

Those who personally know Chow know that he's not exactly an innovative or detailed guy. He's not a bad offensive coordinator. Much like Anae might not be terrible. Smart arrogant guys, but not creative.

he's far from this Andy Reid, Sean Peyton, John Gruden, Mike Leach, Chip Kelley, Pat Fitzgerald, Jim Harbaugh, Al Borges, offensive minds.

Let's all remember this post when Conan pulls his usual crap about Ute fans coming out of nowhere in some thread about BYU, trying to cast BYU in a poor light.

Conan, once I saw the title of the thread I knew you wouldn't be able to stay away, and true to form you did EXACTLY what I expected you to do. Well done.

Funny, cuz I was thinking the same thing about you.

I disagree with this statement. You don't have back-to-back quarterbacks get the Heisman trophy by "looking decent, playing conservatively, being predictable", and simply trying to "not mess up".
 
I admittedly didn't follow Chow's career at UCLA, but I assume he was running his usual Pro-Style offense? I'm interested to see if that's what Utah adopts 100% if Chow is hired. On one hand it makes sense because Wynn is obviously not a spread QB but it seems as if Utah's most current QB recruiting targets are more spread oriented.

It will be interesting to see if Utah dumps the spread completely.
 
Davis and Chow are an upgrade for Utah. That's all that matters here. How much of an upgrade can be debated for sure. Have at it. I know everyone wants to talk about Chow but Davis will easily have the best impact.
 
People can come in here and bash Chow and Utah all they want, but the bottom line is that we're a better coaching staff with Chow and Davis than we were this past season.

It's sad that it came to that point (any change is an improvement). Miller was just terrible. The whole co-OC thing was destined to fail anyway but I really expected Schramm to have some success.

Davis is for sure a great upgrade. Chow will be better but will he be good/great? Time will tell.
