recruiting is a part of being a college football coach. so, recruiting is a part of the debate.
tough to argue with Erickson's record. I don't know if he is actually a good coach, but he has won everywhere, and two of those places (WSU, Ore St) aren't easy places to win. Shady dude, certainly, but he gets the job done and when he has elite talent, he has really excelled (Miami and Ore St).
im not sure that hes as great a recruiter as everyone makes him out to be. he gets 90% of his guys from his state. texas puts deadlines on guys to commit and if they dont commit by then, they'll take back their offer. they did that with l creer last year, an all american rb from texas, and he ended up at tennessee. kids in texas want to go to texas. stoops has taken some great players from that state in recent year....this year is no different.
hahahaha, he was exposed pretty bad this year for what he doesn't know about coaching college football. I don't think he will make that mistake in future years.
Dennis Erickson is a top 10 (maybe 15) coach in college football. Two rings, and he took Oregon State, arguably the worst program in 50 years, almost to the top (and if they weren't called Oregon State, to the top). He also coached ASU "up" to 10-2...there is not 10-2 talent on that team, and if Koetter was still the coach they would probably won 7 games at best. Erickson can get a kid to run through a brick wall...sometimes getting kids to just believe in themselves ups their game twofold.
