    Titans grant Cardinals permission to speak with Chow

    By JIM WYATT
    Staff Writer


    Titans offensive coordinator Norm Chow is a candidate to be the next head coach of the Arizona Cardinals, who fired Dennis Green on Monday.

    Titans Coach Jeff Fisher confirmed Monday night that the Cardinals had contacted the Titans and were granted permission to speak with Chow. Fisher had no other comment.

    Chow, who just finished his second season with Tennessee, coached Cardinals quarterback Matt Leinart at Southern Cal, and his handling of rookie quarterback Vince Young this season has earned him national recognition.

    The Titans recently exercised the one-year option on Chow's contact, although that would not prohibit him from interviewing for a head coaching job.

    Texans assistant coach Mike Sherman is scheduled to be interviewed for the Arizona job on Thursday, and five other NFL assistants have also been identified as potential hires.

    The Cardinals are also interested in Bears defensive coordinator Ron Rivera, Colts assistant head coach and quarterbacks coach Jim Caldwell, Steelers assistant head coach/offensive line coach Russ Grimm, and Steelers offensive coordinator Ken Whisenhunt.

    Well, I got them Samkon Gado and that really helped solidify their backfield of stars. And I also helped them realize that Mckinney was a better center than Flanagan, so that was pretty sweet.

    Good luck to Norm Chow. He deserves a HC job.

    I would think they are only interviewing Sherman as a backup. Why would they want anyone but Chow, considering he would be reunited with Matt Leinart.

    They can make a run at Carroll... who also knew Leinart pretty well.

    I'd go after Chow.

    Chow would be nice in Arizona.

    Because Chow doesn't have any head coaching experience, but I agree that he should be their #1 target. The guy's resume is untouchable (compared to other assistant coaches), handing him the offense with Leinart, Fitzgerald, and Boldin could be very very good for Arizona.

    word is chow doesn't interview well. someone on the radio last night suggested he should file an age and race discrimination lawsuit. I guess he's getting up there in age. to me, he looks like one of those guys who is a great coordinatior but maybe not a good head coach.

    Carroll would be a moron to leave USC for the Cardinals.

    Why wouldn't they hire someone like that? I mean, what could possibly go wrong?

    Why? He'd get paid a boatload, and would get a chance to prove all his doubters wrong.

    What else does he have left to do at USC? He's built a strong program that has contended for the better part of this decade.

    I don't think it's all about proving anything for Pete. He just flat out loves college football. In college the atmosphere is so much different and he seems to enjoy the entire process from recruiting to winning Rose Bowls. I think he's having too much fun to leave.

    I believe all of that... and still wouldn't be suprised if he left.

    $$$$$$, more importantly, NFL-$$$$$$$ can sway even the "happiest" of all college coaches.

    There is, of course, the reasoning that Carroll is just a mediocre NFL guy but a great college guy (b/c of his great recruiting). If he knows he's gonna fail at the next level, and doesn't want to tarnish his legacy, that's fine.

    that rah rah attitude he has works a lot better in college. he's definitely a good coach. the nfl players tune that stuff out after a while, the college players, they move on.

    USC is a great job, but I wouldn't call Carroll a moron for leaving..

    The Cardinals have some pretty good talent and the NFC West division isn't that great.

    Seattle, San Fransico, and St. Louis.

    With a good coach, couple changes, they could compete to win that divison.

    Plus to be one of the only 32 head coaching jobs in the NFL, I'd say it's not easy to get a head coaching job in this league.. and also pays well.
