ODE TO NORM CHOW: FACING FUTURE AS NORM CHOW RETURNS TO HAWAII
By Rock Mayock 10:00AM As previously explored by FOOTBALLPHDS, Norm Chow’s illustrious 39-year coaching career has taken him across the nation as the most sought after assistant, yet never head coach. All of this changed on December 22, 2011, when Norm The Guru Chow was introduced as the new head coach of the University of Hawaii Rainbow Warriors (FOOTBALLPHDS refuses to acknowledge Hawaii as the Warriors). Chow’s hiring marks two significant milestones; Chow’s first opportunity as a head coach and Chow becoming the first Asian American to be hired as the head coach of a Division I college football program. To fully appreciate The Guru’s most recent accomplishment it is important to recap the journey that brought him to this juncture.

The distressing news for all of you fantasy football geeks is that Texans starting quarterback Matt Schaub has been declared out for the remainder of the season due to a Lisfranc injury to an undisclosed foot (it could be either the left or the right). The euphoric news for those of us with man crushes is that the table has been set for Heisman Matt Leinart to assume the starter role as the Texans take on the Jacksonville Jaguars on November 27.

STACKING RANKING USC’S GREATEST QUARTERBACKS
By Rock Mayock 12:00PM Last Saturday’s loss on the road at Arizona State marked the low point in current USC quarterback Matt Barkley’s collegiate career. Today marks the opportunity for Barkley to bounce back and establish his place in the pantheon of USC quarterbacks. Not surprisingly the program has a rich history of great quarterbacks. This is due to the fact that over the last 25 years the perception of USC has shifted from being Tailback U to Quarterback U. The program has produced an unprecedented run of great collegiate and professional QBs. As you may or may not know the FOOTBALLPHDS have a preoccupation with statistical analysis, charts, and stack rankings. Thus it is our pleasure to bring you an unbiased analysis of the all USC starting QBs between 1982-2011.
