6 Norm Chow, who is considered one of the top offensive coaches in collegiate football history, is in his third season as the Bruin offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach. In ’09, Kevin Prince enjoyed one of the top seasons ever by a UCLA freshman quarterback, ranking second in pass completions, passing yards and total offense. In ’08, quarterback Kevin Craft completed 232 passes, the second-highest total in school history. Chow came to UCLA from the NFL’s Tennessee Titans in January of ’07, where he had served as offensive coordinator the previous three years. He is credited with helping quar- terback Vince Young’s transition from college to the pro game. In ’07, the Titans earned a spot in the NFL playoffs and nished the regular season with a record of 10-6. In ’06,Young, a rookie quarterback from Texas, took over the offense during the season’s fourth week. He led the team to an 8-5 record, earned Rookie of the Year honors (only the second QB to win AP Offensive Rookie of the Year) and became the rst rookie quarterback to play in the Pro Bowl. Young earned all of the headlines, but it was the running game that drove the offense as the Titans nished fth in the league in rushing, amassing the sixth-highest rushing total in franchise history (2,214 yds) and the highest yards per carry in franchise history (4.7). In ’05, Chow adapted to the pro game with ease despite an offense that relied on a youthful cast of players and encountered numerous injuries. The Titans ranked ninth in passing and 17th overall in offense. The group of rookie receivers (WR Brandon Jones, WR Roydell Williams,WR Courtney Roby and TE Bo Scaife) became the rst quartet of rookie players, since the ’68 Buffalo Bills, to each record at least 20 receptions in a season. Scaife established a franchise mark for receptions by a rookie tight end with 37. Before joining the Titans, Chow spent 32 highly productive years coaching at the collegiate level, tasting every form of success at that level. He won three national titles (BYU, ’84; USC ’03, ’04), tutored three Heisman Trophy winners (Ty Detmer, Carson Palmer, Matt Leinart), participated in 27 bowl games, and was named national Assistant Coach of the Year on three occasions. He left an indelible mark on the college game as he worked with many of the NCAA’s top career passing efciency leaders. Chow has mentored six rst-round NFL draft picks (Palmer, Leinart, Philip Rivers, Steve Young, Jim McMahon, Marc Wilson) and one Pro Football Hall of Fame member (Young). Chuck Bullough (BULL-ah) is set to begin his second season as defensive coordinator after coaching linebackers during his rst three years at UCLA. He had ve years of NFL coaching experience as a defensive assistant with the Chicago Bears prior to coming to Westwood. Last season, UCLA ranked rst in the Pac-10 in turnovers forced with 30 (T-26th in NCAA), tackles for loss at 8.15/g (5th in NCAA) and red-zone points allowed. The Bruins were second in the conference in pass defense (28th nationally), red-zone efciency and third down efciency (18th) and third in scoring defense (27th) and total defense (32nd). Player development is a key to Bullough's philosophy, and in 2009 defensive lineman Brian Price (2nd rd. pick of Tampa Bay) was named the Pac-10 Conference's Defensive Player of the Year. Safety Rahim Moore, who led the nation in interceptions, was a rst-team All-American. Cornerback Alterraun Verner (4th rd. pick of Tennessee) also earned All-America acclaim. Linebackers Reggie Carter, who was chosen rst-team All-Pac-10, and Akeem Ayers, who was a Sophomore All-American, were also honored. In ’08, his linebackers excelled as a group. Carter led the team with 83 tackles and three fumble recoveries while Ayers and Steve Sloan gained valuable experience for the future. Carter's 20 tackles at BYU were the most by a Bruin since 1989. The ’07 Bruin defense ranked 14th in the nation in rush defense (109.2 yds/g) and 29th in total defense (343.23 yds/g). Leading the way for the linebackers were Christian Taylor (third on team in tackles), Kyle Bosworth (5th), Carter (t-6th) and Aaron Whittington (9th). Taylor ranked second on the team with 12.5 tackles for loss, while Carter was third (12.0). In a game at Washington State, Bosworth recorded 19 tackles. In ’06, the Bruins tied for ninth in the nation, and rst in the conference, in rush defense (91.08 yds/g) with a young group of linebackers. Taylor, Carter and Eric McNeal helped to lead the defense. Taylor ranked second on the team with 83 tackles and was fth (tied) in the Pac-10 in tackles for loss (1.04/g) and 16th in tackles (6.38/g).McNeal made the game-saving tip and interception against USC. Carter earned Freshman All-America honors after tallying 48 tackles, including 6.0 for loss. Bullough, 42, has been a member of two staffs on which the head coach earned "Coach of the Year" honors. In ’01, Dick Jauron was named NFL Coach of the Year after leading the Bears to a 13-3 record (4-12 in the season prior to that staff's arrival). In ’05,Western Michigan improved from 1-10 to 7-4,the biggest turnaround in Mid-American Conference history, and rst-year head coach Bill Cubit was named MAC Coach of the Year.
