Its official, Norm Chow to USC

submitted by CrazyJ on Tuesday, January 9 2001 at 10:41 PM

Unfortunately, all of the rumours appear to be true. ACCToday.com is reporting that Norm Chow has accepted the offer from USC (Southern Cal) to become their offensive coordinator. "New Southern California coach Pete Carroll announced the hiring of North Carolina State's Norm Chow as the Trojans' offensive coordinator on Tuesday". DAMN.

How do you think this will affect our program? Anyone have any insight on any potential prospects for our new OC?

Stuff like this just happens. Just gotta hope the offense keeps firing on all cylinders. Chow will really help Carson Palmer at QB at USC.

we have a pre-established offense, and that won't change... we'll have someone good and since it appears that Rivers has developed into a great QB we will be okay... someone mentioned the current OL coach as potentially moving up... i believe if we do that we should hire Joe Delamaleure as the OL coach from Duke...

OL coach Marty Galbraith will almost definitely be moved up to OC. The year before he came to State, he served as OC for Marshall. They were really good that year (don't have exact figures on hand), but a lot of that can be attributed to Chad Pennington.

Randy Moss may have had something to do with it too...

this does hurt some of our play making ability, but Amato will find someone who is qualified

Well now that it is offical where do we go from here, I give CTC 5 days and we will have a new OC and QB coach... some of the stuff that I have been hearing is that our OL coach will become the OC and possibly Shane Montgomery will come from UTC and become our QB coach. Or coach Cignetti to coach the QB( he was offered the packers job right after we hiered him. Also what about Eric Kramer to come in and coach the QB's.

Hey EvRock you are close with a couple of the sports teams managers you here anything...

GO PACK

here's what mac, from The Tar Pit thinks will happen:

Quote:

"I think NCSU will do the following: OC/OL Marty Galbreith (from OL) QB Curt Cignetti (from TE) TE Darryl Moody (from UNC-RB) Galbreith did a wonderful job in an explosive offense at Marshall and would be a solid pick for the Pack."

mac, may be a Tarheel fan, but he knows a helluva lot about football in general and has quite a few inside sources.

I think it sucks for us in the present but in the long run losing Koren and Adrian could help our recruiting because we are putting players in The League.
