Hawaii Football: Norm Chow Returning Home for Head Coaching Job Is Smart Move

The Hawaii Warriors are working out the contract details to have Norm Chow be their new football head coach, and it's a win-win for all of those involved. 

According to the Honolulu Star Advertiser, Chow has been chosen as head coach for the Warriors. Chow has bounced around all over the coaching spectrum, from college football to the NFL, and now he is returning home. 

Born in Honolulu, Chow is an excellent hire for Hawaii. He may be 65 years old, but he knows how to run an offense well, and he will also help the Warriors out in recruiting. 

The paper claims that Chow could receive a five-year contract, which is pretty fair considering this will be his first head coaching job. 

Chow has been an offensive coordinator with North Carolina State, USC, the Tennessee Titans, UCLA and most recently Utah.  

Many believed Chow would remain at Utah for quite some time since it's his alma mater, but you can't blame him for taking the leap toward what will likely be his only head coaching job ever. 

Plus, Chow will be back where he grew up, which had to be the main reason he took the job in the first place.

Having been a part of three national championship teams, Chow has the experience the Warriors need at head coach. What's more, Chow was the offensive mastermind for multiple Heisman Trophy winners. 

Some prominent players Chow has coached and helped develop during his 38-year career include Jim McMahon, Ty Detmer, Steve Young, Philip Rivers, Carson Palmer and Matt Leinart. 

The Warriors are in good hands now, and it shouldn't be long before Chow has them competitive again in the WAC.
