Chow Says No To Stanford
Stanford officials contacted Titans offensive coordinator Norm Chow this weekend about their head coaching vacancy.
"I told them I wasn't interested," Chow said Sunday after the Titans defeated the Texans.
Chow interviewed with Arizona State and North Carolina State last week, but N.C. State hired former Boston College coach Tom O'Brien and Arizona State is reportedly going with former college and NFL coach Dennis Erickson.
"It is fine," Chow said. "They did what the had to do and we are very happy to be here."
Asked if he was disappointed with Arizona State's decision, Chow said: "Not at all. We just weren't given the opportunity. I thought about it for about two minutes."
