Erickson has done pretty well everywhere he's gone.

UCB Coug

He's the most hated man of all-time at Idaho.

After his first stint or second?

Second. He did good things in his first stint, but left them high and dry. The

The discipline issue concerns me...

And despite Whit's reputation as a demanding coach

kccougar

2/11/13 10:06am

This is true. Some dumb mistakes have been made

Tokolosh

2/11/13 10:08am

The last two years especially. DE isn't going to help with that. But I think

Don't worry...Whit holds everyone accountable....ya'll should be good!

2/11/13 10:11am

In the 16 seasons since he left Miami, he has four total winning records.

shoganai

2/11/13 10:03am

Fantastic recruiter ? hmmm ... doubt that

ManicBlue

2/11/13 10:11am

he has been average or a disaster. He has never done even pretty well

Relying on Whitt to keep the team disciplined

Cyclogist

2/11/13 2:21pm

He has always left the job worse off than he got there

OSU had its best season ever under Erickson. ASU had one of a few Pac12 champion

UCB Coug

2/11/13 10:02am

That OSU Notre Dame Fiesta Bowl had one of the best TD celebrations

foofcoug

2/11/13 10:06am

There was also the one where Ochocinco threw the ball down about 4 yards

BYUheaven

2/11/13 10:10am

It's been sporadic, at best, and one year since 2000

BlackBart

2/11/13 10:06am

As opposed to BJ? I'd take Erickson as OC any day of the week.

UCB Coug

2/11/13 10:10am

Well if this doesn't work out maybe they can coax Roger French out of retirement

icecougar

2/11/13 2:58pm

but how did he leave them?

Yfan atUSU

2/11/13 10:07am

Here are some more

monsterdave

2/11/13 4:14pm

Those would all be huge concerns

mpfunk

2/11/13 10:09am

They are just waiting for the DUIs to come flooding in.

bald man

2/11/13 10:10am

He must be a bad hire if you were able to get him ... capiche ?

ManicBlue

2/11/13 10:14am

The huge concern utah has always had is a crappy offense, this wont change that

jonnnylingo

2/11/13 10:15am

It is a step in the right direction

mpfunk

2/11/13 10:27am

ASU's best total offense under DE was still only 5th in the conference.

shoganai

2/11/13 10:35am

5th in the conference would be a huge improvement

mpfunk

2/11/13 10:50am

It would. But my overall point is...

shoganai

2/11/13 11:02am

That's not what I said...

shoganai

2/11/13 10:20am

There's no way in heck BJ believes that he will be anything but an apprentice.

UCB Coug

2/11/13 10:35am

He'll probably have less talent to work with since his days at Idaho

I'll bash Witte and Dennis when BYU beats them without a miracle play

H-TXCoug

2/11/13 10:30am

Fortunately, he is going to be an assistant coach not a head coach

QBfactoryclosed

2/11/13 10:31am

He's 65 yo ... he'll springboard this into a rest home

ManicBlue

2/11/13 10:33am

Could be. Chow, however, didn't. Who know what DE's plans are.......

QBfactoryclosed

2/11/13 10:38am

I don't get the 'strong recruiter' label at all

ManicBlue

2/11/13 10:44am

sounds like you just described Urban Meyer

icecougar

2/11/13 2:48pm

I guess it is the fact that his recruiting classes have been ranked well.

QBfactoryclosed

icecougar

2/11/13 2:26pm

Furtunately he is just an assistant coach at Utah. He has an offensive skill

Is there a coach who has got more out of the success on the coattails of Jimmy

baastablue

2/11/13 12:34pm

you nailed it with Barry Switzer

icecougar

2/11/13 1:23pm

Is there a coach that has taken a team from 28 straight losing seasons to

UCB Coug

Typical DE apologist always tries to distort the highlights of his record and
