What The #%@&!!

If you were Matt Leinart, USC quarterback, would you be pissed off right now?

Offensive coordinator Norm Chow has accepted the same position with the Tennessee Titans.

This story has a few angles.

Let me start with, Matt Leinart did an amazing thing when he opted out of the NFL draft in favor of trying for a record 3rd National Title.

He would have been the # 1 draft pick, with #1 draft pick money!

Instead, he decided that playing for free and risking injury was worth it to keep the team intact.

That's one hell of a commitment!

One Chow didn't make.

Leinart said that if he knew Chow was leaving it would have affected his decission.

Read that as he would have gone pro.

Why on earth would Chow go to Tennessee?

Titan QB Steve McNair is debating retirement, he has been injury prone for 3 seasons, they went 5-11 last year and the team is over their salary cap, so they will have to dismantle the team very soon.

Chow, what are you thinking?

Hey Chow, you know offensive coordinator Charlie Weis left the New England Patriots to go to Notre Dame, right?

You would be a top candidate for any offensive coordinator's job, so if you wanted to go pro, why not New England?

The Pats and USC are similar in some ways, they have a commitment to winning, and players sticking around for less or no money. SC head coach Pete Carroll was even the Pats head coach at one time!

I don't get it, Chow is crazy.

I wouldn't blame Leinart if he split and went into the secondary draft.

Although, he is going to have a stellar supporting cast at USC next season.
