Excerpt: Dennis Erickson (born March 24, 1947) is a former American football coach, most recently the head coach at Arizona State University from 2007 to 2011. Previously, Erickson was the head coach at the University of Idaho (1982-1985, 2006), the University of Wyoming (1986), Washington State University (1987-1988), the University of Miami (1989-1994), and Oregon State University (1999-2002). Erickson also was the head coach of two teams in the NFL, the Seattle Seahawks (1995-1998) and the San Francisco 49ers (2003-2004), where he tallied a mark of 40-56.
