Filed under: Titans, AFC SouthThere have been plenty of hints that former Titans offensive coordinator Norm Chow and quarterback Vince Young didn’t see eye to eye, but now we have the final confirmation.

When the Titans were looking to draft a quarterback, Chow was obviously involved. After seeing both Young and Matt Leinart’s workouts, Chow was sure the Titans should take Leinart. His opinion was probably somewhat swayed by the fact that he’d coached Leinart at Southern Cal.
“Everyone knew who I wanted and… the minute that they took Vince I told my wife, ‘I think my days are numbered here.’”The Titans tried to get Young to fit in Chow’s offense, but it didn’t really work, which is why he’s now at UCLA and Mike Hemindinger is trying to fix the Titans’ offensive problems.

But the funny thing is that while Chow views the drafting of Young as the beginning of the end in Tennessee for him, Leinart hasn’t proven him right. He does have a slightly higher quarterback rating (71.2 to 69.0), but Young has more touchdowns (31 to 15), more wins (18 to 7) and a playoff appearance. Young may have his problems, but he’d probably kill for the chance to throw to Anquan Boldin and Larry Fitzgerald.
