the Vandals will be very good in a few years, Erickson is probably the most underatted coach in the nation (esp for a guy who has 2 nati titles and a fiesta winner (an osu team that hadn't had a winning record in 28 years before he got there and finished #3 in the nation)) us Oregonians and West Coasters know Erickson quite well but I don't think he gets credit he deserves (more than likley because he recruits troubled juco players, had trouble in the nfl and is a west coast guy)
I loved it when he was here at OSU, I esp loved the rivarly he has with Mike Price (going back to the high school level if I remember right)...there is def part of me that desperatley wants him back in Corvallis (many other Beavers feel the same way) and he frankly would like it too, but I also really like Mike Riley, whats nice about both is they are both Northwesters-in a perfect world we'd have Co-Head Coaches |
I heard some announcers talking about the differences between the two coaches (I think during the Beav's game). And someone said that you always know where you stand with Erickson, while Riley tends to treat his players like family. They would be a dynamic duo - but only room for one at the top! I think we will see Riley finally take this program where it needs to go. I keep hoping for him, since he seems like such a nice guy. Erickson just scares the crap out of me.
