Dennis Erickson

[TheMatador]

View attachment 68400I was at Greentree alot from 81-83....Took lots of Pics....Kelly with unknown player (can't remember name @Matador might know) in 82

I don't know. I was never around the program down there. Followed closely through newspapers, etc. from up North.

Not a big guy, probably an RB, WR or DB.

@Matador The more I think about it, it might very well be RB Chris Hobbs...just not sure..

The season is sh*tty so I’m just talking but we hear a lot about the the Jimmy Johnson, schnellenberger and Butch Davis of the worlds in terms of head coaches at Miami but why is a guy like dennis Erickson never brought up in the same echelon as that group when he’s the most accomplished at Miami? I’ve always wondered this.

I thought you was a Miami Hurricanes fan...

Was Wesley Carroll an Erickson JuCo recruit? BTW, EVERY coach who ever coached at Wazzou or Oregon State had a roster full of JuCos. Only way to do it at those schools!

No.

63-9 vs 60-15

One left at 7-6 one left at 10-2

Those overall records are nearly identical.

Schnellenberger inherited one good recruiting year from Saban, but he won a championship in his fifth year, thus the players were his.

JJ inherited a great team from Schnellenberger, but he won a championship in his fourth year, thus the players were his.

Erickson inherited a great team from JJ, and he won his championships in his first year (all JJ's players) and third year (most were JJ's players). After JJ's players were gone, while our record was decent, our players became undisciplined. Probation would have happened even if Erickson had stayed, so if he had to deal with 31 scholarship losses, his last few years at UM would have been abysmal. The worst/most prominent violations (Pell Grant, hidden drug test, etc.) happened fully on Erickson's watch, and other violations continued or increased on Erickson's watch.

Butch inherited a terrible team and we should have played for a national championship in his final year.

Coker inherited a great team from Butch, and won a championship in his first year, with Butch's players. We then got worse every single year that he remained.

Erickson is a tiny bit better than Coker, as far as results go. But they accomplished the same big-picture things, the decline of our program.

The 81 team should have played for NC....They beat 5 ranked teams...and lost two because of terrible calls against Texas and Ole Miss....Tony Fitzpatrick is a close friend of mine...so is Punter Greg Labelle....both were Saban kids...as was most of the 81 team....Tony told me last yr at the ND game that I attended with him and a few other former Canes, that the officiating in the Texas and Miss games was the worst in UM History...

you seem to be insinuating we lost to Texas, which we did not, actually one of my favorite games of all time

 

[caneworld]

thanks for the posts. i was definitley wrong to use "Pell Grant" as a catch all for improper bene's. that's my bad.

was Dennis implicated by the NCAA during its investigation?

Not to be overlooked...

... Dan "Judas" LeBastard stuck the first knife in the program's back to start the national media pile-on...

I must put much more stock in the extra wins and fewer losses. An extra loss a year is a big deal and the second championship, even with JJ's guys makes it a no-contest for me.

Just stop it.

No real Canes fan acknowledges that we lost the 2003 Fiasco Bowl, it was stolen from us. Not to mention that Erickson's second title was a split title. Give both of them 1.5 national championships, from a coaching standpoint.

Identical coaches. Identical in nearly every way. Offensive-minded coaches who fell off in recruiting and left the program in bad shape when they left.

i still watch that game at least every 2 months, the trash talk leading up to the game was the best, Texas on their "shock the nation tour" and our guys on tv saying they were embarrassed to have to play such a sorry *** team. The local pundits didnt know how to take that lol, and after that *** raping the SWC commissioner coming out saying he would see to it Miami was never invited back to a cotton bowl. Fred Jacoby or something like that, good ole days when we already knew we would curbstomp that ***, miss those days, **** now we're not sure we can beat duke, wait we cant beat duke and we have an all world coach making big money. We need to cut his pay until he wins something at least
