Something about him is wrong. Why did Stanford pass on him? There were alot of jobs open this year and he has not been hired yet.
Just because Chow is a great OC doesn't mean he'll be a great HC. Can he recruit? Can he provide leadership for the program? Does he want to work 24/7? Can he manage the game? Many unanswered questions about Chow to make him the LSU HC....
Look into the info about that hire...the AD at Stanford is a 20 year friend of Walt Harris. Leland, the AD, also hired the previous coach based on his friendship (Teevens)...and admitted it when he had to fire him. It was not a level playing field (not that Harris isn't a good coach).
Why hasn't Chow gotten an opportunity to be a HC at this point in his career? I dunno that answer, but there must be a reason. I think LSU is in such great shape that we can hire a proven college HC ... that would be my preference!
Stanford Made a huge mistake! Stanford used to put out tremendous QB's themselves at one time...He would have been a perfct match at Elway U!
LOYALTY: Something not seen on todays football environment(sheesh hate to sound like a forked-tounge liberal).
Our QBs and future QBs can use his knowledge, and his previous QB developement(Rivers, Young,Wilson,Neilson,Palmer,Lienhart...)would only attract some Blue Chip QBs! Geaux Tigers!!!!!
