[Vision2020] Arizona State Hiring Erickson as Coach

[J Ford]

Well, I new he wasn't gong to stay, but I did think he'd last more than one 
season.  Hopefully, he'll take the rotten players with him that he brought 
and we can get some decent people in the UI program...at least those that re 
willing to put some effort into the team.

>Dennis Erickson is on the verge of becoming the 22nd head football coach at
>Arizona State University. An ASU official indicated on Saturday that
>negotiations between Erickson and the school are continuing.
>
>A source close to the football program told the Tribune that a deal will be
>reached, and that some of Erickson's assistant coaches have already been
>determined.
>
>The 59-year-old Erickson is a two-time national championship-winning coach
>at the University of Miami who has also coached at Wyoming, Washington
>State, Oregon State and the NFL's Seattle Seahawks and San Francisco 49ers.
>In 2006, he returned to where his college head-coaching career began, 
>Idaho,
>and led the Vandals to a 4-8 record.
>
>Erickson - who is 149-64-1 in 18 college seasons, including national titles
>in 1989 and '91 - was unavailable for comment.
>
>An announcement could come as soon as Sunday, but no press conference has
>yet been scheduled.
>
>Erickson's contract at Idaho calls for a $150,000 buyout to Idaho should he
>leave for another job by Feb. 7.
>
>Erickson does come with baggage. He was arrested for DUI in 1995, and his
>teams at Miami and Oregon State were often characterized as over-aggressive
>and undisciplined.
>
>Idaho offensive coordinator is Dan Cozzetto - who served in that capacity 
>at
>ASU from 1992-99 - will be part of Erickson's staff in Tempe. A likely
>addition is current ASU cornerbacks coach Al Simmons, who was an assistant
>to Erickson at Oregon State and the 49ers.
