Grant Teaff

Executive Director, American Football Coaches Association

“Leadership in American Sports Today”

When Grant Teaff was named Executive Director of the

American Football Coaches Association in February 1994,

he approached his new role as a coach, by formulating a

master game plan.

In 13 years, Teaff has executed that plan at a championship

level, and in the process has become one of the most effec-

tive administrators in intercollegiate athletics. In 2002, the

Sporting News ranked Teaff as one of the most powerful

administrators of college athletics. In December 2004, Teaff

was named one of the most influential people in college

sports by Street & Smith’s Sports Business Journal. Grant

Teaff’s outstanding career as a college coach has placed him

in eight Halls of Fame, including the Texas Sports Hall of

Fame, and the College Football Hall of Fame. He won 170

football games, two Southwest Conference Championships, coached in 20 post season bowls and all-star games. He

was Coach of the Year six times in the Southwest Conference, and received National Coach of the Year Awards from

the American Football Coaches Association and the Football Writers Association. In 2006, Teaff was honored with

the Amos Alonzo Stagg Award, one of the highest honors a coach can receive from the AFCA.

Grant Teaff’s values are rooted in his West Texas upbringing. He began to develop his leadership skills as a student at

Snyder High School. He was captain of his high school, community college, and senior college football teams. He

quickly became a leader in his chosen profession. Teaff was involved in national issues as a coach, and as an adminis-

trator. As Executive Director of American Football Coaches Association he is involved in every issue that affects the

college game, and has become a strong spokesman for the game of football. As a nationally known author and moti-

vational speaker, Teaff loves to share his leadership techniques with those involved in education, the business world,

and particularly with coaches.

The 10,000 members of the American Football Coaches Association have had a front row seat as they watched the

massive changes that have taken place in the Association in the last eleven years.

Coach Teaff and his wife Donell are the parents of three daughters and have four grandchildren. The Teaff’s are

deeply involved in their community, having worked for years with Muscular Dystrophy, Multiple Sclerosis Society,

Red Cross, Friends for Life, Camp Success for children with reading disabilities and his 40 plus years of leadership in

the Fellowship of Christian Athletes. Teaff serves on the Downtown Waco Development Board and is a Deacon and

Sunday school teacher at First Baptist Church.

When asked how he would like to be remembered, he said, “As a great husband, outstanding father and grandfather,

and a friend who really cared.”

Teaff has written five books: “I Believe,” “Winning,” “Seasons of Glory,” “Coaching in the Classroom” and “Grant

Teaff with the Master Coaches.”

Norm Chow

Offensive Coordinator, University of Utah

“Successful Coaching at All Levels”

Chow brings 38 years of coaching experience to the job, including 35 years as an NCAA assistant coach and three years as an NFL assistant. He was most recently at UCLA, where he spent the last three seasons as the Bruins' offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach.

A three-time national Assistant Coach of the Year, Chow has served as the offensive coordinator for three national championship teams (Brigham Young, 1984; USC 2003 and 2004). One of the game's most credentialed quarterbacks coaches, he has tutored three Heisman Trophy winners (Ty Detmer, Carson Palmer, Matt Leinart) and six NFL first-round draft picks (Palmer, Leinart, Philip

Rivers, Steve Young, Jim McMahon, Marc Wilson). Young is a member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

Chow also has an NFL Rookie of the Year and Pro Bowl quarterback to his credit. While the offensive coordinator for the Tennessee Titans (2005-07), Chow helped Vince Young transition from college to pro-fessional football. In his first NFL season in 2006, Young became only the second quarterback to win AP Offensive Rookie of the Year honors and he was the first rookie quarterback to play in the Pro Bowl. Ten-nessee's run game also fared well under Chow and the Titans finished fifth in the league in 2006 in rushing (2,214 yards) while setting a franchise record for yards per carry (4.7). In his last season as Tennessee's of-fensive coordinator, the 2007 Titans won 10 games and earned a spot in the NFL playoffs.

Chow went to the NFL after a highly-successful four-year term as the offensive coordinator at USC from 2001-04. In 2002, Palmer, the first of two Trojan Heisman Trophy winners under Chow, became the first selection in the NFL draft. Palmer left USC as the Pac-10's career record holder in passing yards and total offense. In 2003, with Leinart calling the signals, the Trojans set the Pac-10 record for points in a season (534). In 2004, Leinart won the Heisman Trophy and was named the Walter Camp Player of the Year and repeated as a first-team All-American while leading the Trojans to their second straight national title.

Chow's first coaching job was as the head coach at Waialua High (Hawaii) from 1970-72. He then began a 27-year stint at BYU, serving in a variety of capacities, including assistant head coach, offensive coordina-tor, co-offensive coordinator, quarterbacks coach, receivers coach and recruiting coordinator. He called the offensive plays at BYU from 1982-1999 and was the offensive coordinator his last four seasons at the school. The Cougars posted a 244-91-3 record during his time in Provo, appeared in 22 bowls and saw 21 offensive players earn All-America honors. Brigham Young ranked in the nation's top 10 in total offense in 12 of Chow's 18 years as offensive coordinator.

His honors include: the Broyles Award (2002) as the nation's top assistant coach, National Assistant Coach

of the Year (1999) by the American Football Foundation and Athlon (1993), and the NCAA Division I-A

Offensive Coordinator of the Year (1996 and 2002) by American Football Monthly. He served as the grand

marshal of the 2004 Golden Dragon Parade celebrating the Chinese New Year in Los Angeles' Chinatown.
