    8 field goals in a game! that's probowl!

    their GM needs to step up.

    Look at new england, they got Moss for a 4th round pick! and somehow got a top 10 pick from the Niners for next year!

    Wow, you threw out the race card. I'll be the bigger man and ignore your insult, but you will find a warm place on my ignore list.

    In his college coaching career, Chow has groomed three Heisman Trophy winners (Ty Detmer, Carson Palmer, Matt Leinart), six first round picks (Palmer, Leinart, Philip Rivers, Steve Young, Jim McMahon, Marc Wilson) and one Pro Football Hall of Fame member (Young). Additionally, Chow has been associated with some of the best offensive minds in the college and pro ranks. Many of the NFL's most noted NFL minds have coached alongside Chow, including Mike Holmgren, Andy Reid, Brian Billick, Ted Tollner, Mike Sheppard and Doug Scovil.

    But he couldn't do much with gods gift to the QB position, so he must suck right?

    So, in backing up Chow's credentials to coach at the pro level you bring up his accolades at the college level and his association with many NFL minds?

    Yeah pretty much, because we all know our previous accomplishments mean nothing. :rolleyes:

    With your reasoning people who point out VY's national championship to support him are making illogical statements.

    I am not sure it Chows fault. His best guy in the open field happens to be his QB. He has plodding (though decent between the tackles guys) running backs and zero explosiveness in receivers (even before 2 of their 3 top guys were injured). VY's completion % did rise to 62%--a good number for a 2nd year QB and pretty solid considering a revolving door of 3rd/4th type quality WRs that have been his starters for 2 strait years--so Chow can't be doing everything bad.

    The Titans need big fast WRs and/or a big fast TE and/or or back who has speed and can be a release value. They basically have no match-up problem guys and guys who can't get big chunks when they they catch it. I don't think it is Chow's fault or VY fault or Fisher's fault--maybe Fisher if he was in charge of personelle.

    I will say a huge mistake was taking Mike Griffin when Bowe was available last year. I didn't get that and still don't. Nelson and Ross were better available DBs too.

    I heard he was fired because he looked Vince in the eyes.

    What impressive resume? His offense in College?

    I think Fisher knows what he is doing.

    Whoever is responsible for the WRs they've drafted should be fired. They had a lot of drives end on dropped passes this year. Maybe their receivers coach should take some blame as well. Not sure how much should be blamed on Chow. Maybe he and Fisher just didn't see eye to eye.

    Chow never let Vince be Vince. You just have to let Vince drop back, look for one WR, if he's not open tell him to make a play with his legs.

    and his career will be cut in half. To become truly great, he has to use his arm.

    If KY was a true leader those passes would have been caught. There is just something about his passes that make them uncatchable. They just don't have "it."

    I was specifically referring to the list of QBs that he mentored, but his offense is nice also. Look at one of my ealier post for specifics. You may put your faith in Fisher, but Norm Chow does have a pedigree in developing not good, but great QBs. Does Fisher?

    I know its somewhat naive to put my faith in Chow, like you do in Fisher, but the bottom line is that we don't know everything that is going on behind the scenes. All we have to go on is what we see, and what I see is a QB who can't throw and an offense with no weapons. How is any of that Chow's fault.

    Did Norm Chow even want Vince in the first place?
