Fired Tennessee Titans offensive coordinator Norm Chow has found a job back on the west coast, according to ESPN’s Chris Mortensen.
An official announcement should be made today that Chow, who was fired last Tuesday, is going to be the new offensive coordinator for UCLA, according to Mortensen.
The Titans (10-6) lost an AFC wild-card game to San Diego 17-6 and ranked 21st overall in total offense.
Tennessee was the first team to reach the playoffs in a 16-game season with only nine touchdown passes.
On Friday, the Titans brought Denver assistant Mike Heimerdinger back to replace Chow as the offensive coordinator. Heimerdinger was Tennessee's offensive coordinator from 2000-2004.
Chow will be back at home in the Pac 10.
He came to the Titans from Southern Cal in 2005. Chow wanted Tennessee to draft his Trojans quarterback Matt Leinart in 2006 when Vince Young was taken third.
Chow wasn’t able to display his talents for developing quarterbacks with the athletic Young.
He has had success in helping to develop Jim McMahon, Steve Young, Phillip Rivers and Carson Palmer in his more than 30 years of coaching.
