Chow to be interviewed for Cardinals' job

Associated Press

The Arizona Cardinals are already lining up interview candidates to fill its coaching vacancy after the firing of Dennis Green Monday.

The Cardinals will bring in Houston assistant head coach Mike Sherman, who coached Green Bay from 2000-04, on Thursday. The Cards also are planning to talk to Titans offensive coordinator Norm Chow, Steelers offensive line coach Russ Grimm, Steelers offensive coordinator Ken Whisenhunt, Bears defensive coordinator Ron Rivera and Colts assistant head coach/quarterbacks coach Jim Caldwell.

The team is still seeking permission to talk to other NFL assistants, said Rod Graves, the team's vice president of football operations.

Chow, a former Punahou School athlete and Waialua High coach, has made stops at Brigham Young, North Carolina State and Southern California, where he coached Carson Palmer and Matt Leinart.

Green went 16-32 in his three seasons with the Cards. He had one year left on his contract and will still collect about $2.5 million.
