UPDATE (M): Daily News' Jon Gold is reporting on their UCLA blog, as of 11:34 a.m, that "it's only a matter of money":
* This is still only a matter of money. You throw enough money at a guy, he at least has to consider it. If Yahoo offered my $200 grand, you better believe I'd consider it, even though I love the Daily News.
* At this point, if the numbers are true - anywhere from a million to a million-five - UCLA can't and downright shouldn't match the offer. $1.5 million for a college offensive coordinator, whose two UCLA offenses have finished 111th and 88th in the country? Come on.
* Here's my deal: Chow has a year left on his contract. A guy in Chow's shoes deserves more job security. Chris Peterson's name gets brought up at SC? More job security. Del Rio? More job security. Harbaugh? More job security. If this all ends up with Chow getting a raise and some more security, I think he stays.
More as we get it, folks...
ORIGINAL (M): This is about 3 hours old, but still worth mentioning. ESPN reported at 9:07 a.m. (PT) that Chow's agent, Don Yee, told ESPN the following (emphasis added):
Meanwhile, sources close to the school told ESPN's Shelley Smith on Tuesday night that a deal is being worked on in hopes of bringing longtime offensive coordinator Norm Chow back to USC in the same capacity.
"Last night's reports are false. There are no negotiations that are occurring. And, as of this morning [Wednesday], we have not received any contact from USC regarding any offers for coach Chow to leave UCLA," Yee told ESPN, adding that no media contacted him about the initial circulation of Chow reports.
The rest of the Chow section went like this emphasis added):
Chow had not been directly contacted by USC, either, Yee said. If the Trojans do pursue his client in the immediate future, Yee did not reject the possibility of a deal.
"As his representative, I'd have an obligation to present any proposal to coach Chow but I have nothing to present to him," Yee told ESPN.
Looks like the WWL may have to keep backpedaling, but only time will tell. Again, this is 3 hours old, but thought everyone should know.
Have faith, everybody.

Wolf
is givng figures that are supposedly being discussed, 1 to 1.5 mill per season for chow.
my gut tells me to stand by for a heavy roll...
The most important lesson I learned working in politics is
“If they’ll do it with you, they”ll do it to you". My feelings
are that if Norm left ’SC because of Pete, he may have
Come to UCLA to stick it to Pete, and now, well, his true colors
Will show- good or bad.
Question- better to lose him now, or when the NFL $ runs out in
a year or two?
Considering next year is likely still not “our year” maybe be better
to replace him sooner rather than later if he is intent on going.
Wonder if he ever felt like a Bruin!

His NFL money stopped this season.
Next year’s salary will be all UCLA (assuming he stays)

You are out of line with that thinking
You are already showing to Norm Chow that you don’t care if he stays or goes. That is not what inspires people to stay.
His exit from U$C was a result of none other than Lame Kiffin’s whining and posturing to Petey and that added to Petey’s ego did the trick.
He deserves to get paid well and UCLA should pony up for a few more years.
But hey, what do I know. I’m just the 800 lbs bruin in the room.
We need to stop paying attention to unsourced reports
Chow’s agent is the first person to speak with iintegrity, authority and directness. Everything else is rumor and apparently false.

Actually, this the second
Yesterday, a UCLA spokeperson said NC had not be contacted.
Interesting how the only two reliable sources state the same thing.

Already starting, folks
It’s easy to see what’s happening here. Throwing the Chow rumor out there generates buzz for SC to lasso in their recruits, while at the same time, creating uncertainty for your rival.
Get ready for much more of this kind of crap from the Kiffin administration. This is only the beginning.

is Gold reporting
or speculating? His second point seems like reporting/analysis, but I don’t get the rest.
