Chow Meets With Stanford

USC offensive coordinator Norm Chow interviewed for the head coaching position at Stanford on Wednesday.

Chow, 58, toured the campus and met with Stanford officials and some Cardinal players during the day.

Chow could not be reached for comment, but he is considered a leading candidate to replace Buddy Teevens, who was fired last week after three consecutive losing seasons.

Pittsburgh Coach Walt Harris is the other leading candidate and will probably interview on campus this week.

USC defensive coordinator Ed Orgeron is expected to interview Friday with Mississippi officials for that school’s head coaching job.
