Erickson Vandalizes Idaho, takes over Arizona State

After one short year at Idaho, Dennis Erickson tells the Vandals he wants a chance to win a national championship. I guess that's one way to put it as he departs for greener pastures in Arizona, as he takes over for Dirk Koetter as the coach of the Sun Devils. This is a bit of a surprise to me, as Erickson has shown sporadic success in his previous Pac-10 stint at Oregon State. Although he did win a championship with Miami (FL), that was in the late 80's and he is no longer a young coach. Aside from his dismal stint as the coach of the San Francisco 49ers, Erickson is respected as a good coach with good recruiting skills. The question is whether or not he can run a clean program and turn ASU into a contender.
