LOS ANGELES (AP) - Southern California assistant Norm Chow was hired as offensive coordinator of the Tennessee Titans on Wednesday after helping the Trojans win two consecutive national championships.
"The timing's right, and the excitement's there," Chow said during a conference call.
Chow replaces Mike Heimerdinger, who was hired as the New York Jets' offensive coordinator last month. This is his first job in pro football after 32 seasons at BYU, North Carolina State and USC.
"We know which direction our offense wants to go, and I felt without any question in my mind that he's the right guy to get us there," Titans coach Jeff Fisher said.
Fisher, a USC alumnus, also interviewed assistant head coach George Henshaw and quarterbacks coach Craig Johnson from his own staff.
Chow, 58, joined USC in 2001 and was the team's offensive coordinator, tutoring Heisman Trophy winners Carson Palmer and Matt Leinart.
At BYU, Chow worked with quarterbacks such as Heisman Trophy winner Ty Detmer, NFL star Steve Young and Chicago Bears QB Jim McMahon - a former teammate of Fisher's.
