Arizona State hires Dennis Erickson
web page
I have mixed feelings about this. One the one hand, I would have liked Danny White to come home and take a shot at building the program. Another better scenario was the McGinnis/Chow combo. I do like this better than Mike Price. The cons are, this guy is 59 years old, so he's no spring chicken and his only truly dominant program was at Miami. HE's also shown the willingness to jump ship after a short stay at every stop. The pros are, he's a big name, and has a lot of Pac 10 coaching experience, most of it positive.

Re: Arizona State hires Dennis Erickson
As an ASU student, I'm pleased with the hiring.
I wouldn't have minded Mike Price, as I think he is a really good coach. In my opinion, Erickson did a good job at Oregon State and at Idaho (considering the talent level). He obviously did well at Miami, but the program was already built up for him. Basically, I don't know that much about Erickson, but I'm intrigued that ASU hired a big name. The Koetter era was defined by mediocrity. The Sun Devils beat up on weak opponents, but struggled against top notch competition, particularly on the road (0-12 in California, I believe?).

If he'd have stayed, Oregon St would've been a force in the Pac 10. I agree one detriment is that he might not stay long. I like Erickson. I may even buy a Sundevil hat. Imo, the Pac 10 just got a bit tougher. b

I remember something like 6 personal fouls on the Beavers that day.
