Norm Chow is back in football.

Chow, whom you might have last seen doing commercials, has accepted the job as offensive coordinator for the new Los Angeles franchise in the XFL, which begins in February.

Chow joins another ex-UH head coach, June Jones, in Vince McMahon’s revived league. Jones is the general manager and head coach of the new Houston franchise.

Chow stepped down as Rainbow Warriors head coach during the 2015 season, as Chris Naeole took over as interim coach. Chow finished at 10-36 at UH.


After his UH days (besides doing commercials), Chow assisted at Mira Costa High in Manhattan Beach, Calif.

The only other time Chow — a prolific assistant in college with USC, NC State and others — coached in the professional ranks was as offensive coordinator with the Tennessee Titans from 2005 to 2007.
