Early life

Erickson was raised in Everett, twenty five miles north of Seattle. His father, Robert "Pink" Erickson, was a high school head football coach at Cascade High School. The younger Erickson played quarterback at the rival Everett High, coached by next-door neighbor, Bill Dunn. This "made for some quiet dinners on game day." As a junior, Dennis was the starting quarterback, beating out the former starter, senior Mike Price, another future college head coach.

Price, the son of the head coach of Everett Junior College, was moved to defense (as a safety). When Erickson left Washington State in 1989, he recommended Mike Price as his replacement, who got the job, and rented Erickson's Pullman home. Erickson had beaten out Price for the job in 1987. Six years earlier in 1981, Price had beaten Erickson out for the job at Weber State in Ogden, Utah. While at Idaho, Erickson was 2-2 vs. Price's Weber teams.

In 1965, Erickson graduated from Everett High School and accepted a football scholarship to Montana State in Bozeman to play for head coach Jim Sweeney. Erickson was an effective undersized quarterback (quick feet, marginal arm) from 1966-68, earning all-conference honors in the Big Sky. Immediately after his senior season, he began his coaching career as a graduate assistant for the Bobcats in 1969. In 1970, at age 23, Erickson became the head coach at Billings Central Catholic High School, staying for just a single season.

Assistant coaching

From 1971-81, Erickson was a collegiate assistant coach, working with the offense. Beginning at his alma mater, Montana State, in 1971 under Sonny Holland, he became an offensive coordinator in 1974 at Idaho under newly promoted head coach Ed Troxel, and stayed for two seasons.

When Erickson's college coach Jim Sweeney resigned from neighboring Washington State after the 1975 season, then hired at Fresno State in 1976, Erickson followed him to Fresno be the offensive coordinator for Sweeney's first three seasons. When Jack Elway, a former Sweeney assistant at WSU, was hired at San Jose State in 1979, Erickson joined him for three seasons, again as the offensive coordinator. Erickson was a finalist for the Weber State job after the 1980 season, but lost out to his high school teammate and friend, Mike Price.

Head coaching

Idaho (I)

Erickson's head coaching career began in December 1981, at age 34, when he was hired at the University of Idaho, succeeding Jerry Davitch.

Building on his reputation as an offensive innovator, Erickson became Idaho's all-time winningest head coach in just four seasons with the Vandals (1982-85), taking them to the I-AA playoffs in his first and fourth seasons. His overall record was 32-15 (.680): 31-13 (.704) in the regular season and 1-2 in post season. His most notable recruits at Idaho were his quarterbacks: Scott Linehan and John Friesz. Erickson had revived Vandal football, turning it into a top I-AA program whose success was continued for another decade by Keith Gilbertson and John L. Smith.

Wyoming and Washington State

He took his "spread offense" with him to Division I-A Wyoming in 1986 for a single season, then returned to the Palouse with Washington State of the Pac-10 for the 1987 season, going 3-7-1. Erickson turned around the Washington State program quickly, going 9-3 in the 1988 season and leading the normally average Cougars to a win in the Aloha Bowl. This success led to his hiring by the University of Miami the following season.

Miami

Expectations were very high at Miami, as Erickson replaced the successful Jimmy Johnson, who had led the Hurricanes to 10-win season in the previous four seasons as well as a national championship before departing for an NFL head coach position. Erickson lead Miami for six seasons (1989-94), winning two national championships in 1989 and 1991. Erickson's .875 winning percentage (63-9) at Miami remains the highest in the history of the program. However, he was receiving heat from many Miami fans near the end of his tenure. His 1993 team went 9-3 - the first season with fewer than 10 wins for Miami since 1985 - and lost its bowl game 29-0 to Arizona. In September 1994, the Hurricanes lost 38-20 to Washington at the Orange Bowl, snapping the Canes' NCAA record 58-game home win streak.

NFL (I) - Seattle

Erickson was then hired as an NFL head coach, staying with the Seattle Seahawks for four seasons (1995-98), going 8-8 in his final season before being fired to make room for the available Mike Holmgren. A hotly-contested officiating call in the Seahawks' final game against the Jets in 1998 cost the Seahawks' the game and knocked them out of the playoffs. Had the call been made correctly, the team would have gone 9-7 and Erickson's job might have been spared.

Erickson made an immediate "u-turn" back to the college ranks in 1999. Except this campaign was with a team who had long since dropped off the radar of desirable coaching opportunities.^[1][2][3][4] In a nutshell, Oregon State had become one of three perennial "cellar dwellers" in the Pac-10. Expectations were so low that, before his arrival in Corvallis, Erickson's predecessor, Mike Riley, earned a position as head coach of the NFL's San Diego Chargers after leading the Beavers to a 5-6 record.

In his first season, Erickson directed the Beavers to a 7-5 record. It was the program's first winning season in 28 years. Although, Erickson cannot take full credit for the program's seemingly sudden transformation. Riley handed many great recruits over to the incoming Erickson in 1999. In the following year, Erickson's Beavers posted their best season in the program's 105 year history.^[5] During that 11-1 season, Erickson's coaching helped snap a 26-year losing streak to the University of Southern California Trojans. The monumental win earned the Beavers a share of the Pacific-10 conference championship and gave Erickson a reputation for doing the impossible.^[6] For the program, it was the first conference title since 1964. The last time the Beavers beat USC was in the infamous "Mud Bowl" of 1967.

By that point in the 2000 season, Erickson was garnering national respect in the sports media for orchestrating a bruising defense, known for lighting-quick speed, and a penetrating offense, loaded with high-flying talent.^[8] In fact, the Beavers barely missed a national title game appearance due to a late-in-the-game missed field goal opportunity against the Huskies early in the 2000 season.^[9] The win over USC did, however, help Erickson's crew clinch a spot in the 2001 Fiesta Bowl against the Notre Dame Fighting Irish. Many today view the Beaver's BCS bowl game appearance as one of Erickson's crowning career achievements.^[10] Nationally televised, the Beavers drubbed the Fighting Irish 41-9.

At the close of the 2001 bowl games, Erickson's Beavers ranked fourth nationally in the Associated Press top 25 College Football Poll^[13] with several college football insiders publicly stating OSU would have been a favorite in the Bowl Championship Series (2001 Orange Bowl) had their record positioned them for selection.^{[14] [15] [16] [17]} This attitude seems to have also been shared by the writers at Sports Illustrated (SI). The magazine's 2001 scouting report had Beavers ranked as the number one team in the nation.^[18] Unfortunately, the ranking was based mostly on the previous season's record, dominating bowl performance and the combined lack of quality competition recorded in the higher 2001 BCS bowls. Erickson's program experienced a sparsity of returning talent in 2001, which greatly diminished the team's performance in the upcoming season. This critical detail appears to have been overlooked by SI. OSU went 5-6, failing to approach the lofty ranking at anytime during the 2001 season.

Despite Erikson's many successes while coaching at Oregon State, his tenure with this program was far from spotless. Local critics coined OSU an "Outlaw Program" after two of Erickson's players were arrested for battery. The team also racked up record-setting penalties while on the field during the 2000 season.^[19]

Aside from his shortcomings as a disciplinarian, Erickson was named Sporting News National Coach of the Year in 2000 and his name came up for several high-profile college football positions, including the head coaching position at USC. ^{[20] [21]}

Erickson remained coach at Oregon State for a total of 4 seasons (1999-2002) before accepting another coaching position in the NFL. His early departure left many OSU fans angry with him for betraying his contract, but most still credit him with righting a sunken ship.

NFL (II) - San Francisco

He chose to return to the NFL in 2003 with the San Francisco 49ers, a team with salary cap problems, and lasted just two seasons before being released along with general manager Terry Donahue, going 2-14 in 2004. The hiring of Erickson was very surprising and highly criticized. The 49ers had three defensive-minded head coaches as finalists for their head coaching vacancy, but the offensive-minded Erickson ended up being hired. The 49ers' offense had mostly players who specialized in the West Coast Offense that the previous head coach, Steve Mariucci, ran. But the aggressive style of offense that Erickson is known for deviated greatly from that scheme and the hybrid scheme that Erickson employed in order to maintain parts of the West Coast Offense never worked out. Erickson did not coach during the 2005 season. Erickson, in just two seasons as the 49ers head coach, managed to turn a playoff team into the worst team in the NFL, as well as hand the 49ers their worst season in the history of the hapless franchise.

On February 8, 2006, the University of Idaho announced the re-hiring of Dennis Erickson as its head football coach.
