Here are some of Erickson's accomplishments
Dennis Erickson ranks as the seventh winningest Division 1-A active college head coach in the nation with a winning percentage of .722, and is ninth for total victories with 136.
In 16 years as a collegiate head coach, Erickson has produced a record of 136-52-1. In three years at Oregon State, he has produced a record of 23-12, a percentage of .657.
Erickson led Oregon State to a school-record 11-1 season, a Pacific-10 Conference co-championship and a berth in the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl in 2000. It was the Beavers’ first-ever 11-win season and first conference title since 1964.
With all of Oregon State’s success in the first two years under Erickson, he was rewarded with a new seven-year guaranteed contract, which he signed on December 2, 2000.
Erickson, already one of the most successful college football coaches in history with two national championships under his belt at the University of Miami, was named head football coach at Oregon State University, to succeed Mike Riley, on Tuesday, January 12, 1999. He signed a five-year contract at that time.
As a result of the tremendous accomplishments by the Beavers in 1999, Erickson was rewarded with a new five-year contract on November 23, 1999.
Erickson brought to Oregon State a legacy of winning in the collegiate ranks. He brought a 13-year record as a Division I collegiate head coach of 113-40-1, including national championships in 1989 and 1991 at Miami, and a winning percentage of .737. His 1989 team produced a 11-1 record, and his 1991 team went undefeated, 12-0.
A proven winner in each of his four college head coaching jobs, Erickson has endured only one losing season in 15 campaigns as a collegiate head coach, 1987, in his first year at Washington State, the Cougars recorded a 3-7-1 mark. Erickson quickly reversed that record and his 1988 WSU squad finished 9-3 and was ranked 16th in the nation.
Erickson left Washington State in 1989, moving to the University of Miami, where he won a national championship in his first year.
During Erickson’s very successful six-year stint with the Hurricanes, he compiled an NCAA-best record of 63-9-0 (.875), which included a 35-2 home mark at the Orange Bowl, and part of an NCAA record 58 straight wins. He became only the second head coach in NCAA history to win a national championship in his first season at a school.
Erickson has been named Coach of the Year in three different conferences—Big Sky, Pac-10 and Big East. The 2000 season marks the second time Erickson has been named Coach of the Year in the Pac-10 Conference, having also achieved the honor at Washington State in 1988. He joins Bruce Snyder as the only coach to be named Coach of the Year at two different Pac-10 institutions.
He reached 100 career wins in his 137th game, becoming the third-quickest to reach that plateau among Division I head coaches who were active in 1994, trailing Penn State University’s Joe Paterno (122 games) and the University of Nebraska’s Tom Osborne (126 games).
After leading Miami to a 10-2 record and No. 6 ranking nationally in 1994, Erickson accepted the head coaching position of the National Football League’s Seattle Seahawks. He coached Seattle four seasons (1995-98) and produced a four-year record of 31-33-0 (.484). Erickson’s Seahawks finished 8-8 three times and 7-9 in 1996.

He looks good as a college coach, but some people just weren't made to coach the big leagues.....
I copied this from another site...I think it fits.....
John York and Bill (I think I am a God) Walsh want a "yes man" that will be nothing more than their puppet (ala J.Jones since Johnson left).
Well it didn't work for Jerry, and I will be suprised if it works for them either. I still am a firm believer in the Parcells theory to coaching...if you want 'em to cook the meal, you gotta let 'em shop for some groceries.
The Niners really must have been desperate to get Erickson though, but any coach worth his salt is going to want at least a little say in the football matters, making it hard on the niners.

The Niners will be fine! Erickson will be more aggressive and the Niners will win! It's that Simple!!!! Erickson has the expierience to be succesful we will just have to wait and see what happens. Holmgren took his place in Seattle and it's just looking like a bad situation with that team! So his short NFL stint cant be juged by his record or you will have to say the same about Holmgren! He also knows the system and that is what matters most right now! As you know he wasnt my choice in coaches but I will give him a chance to prove himself!
Real talk split!! Erickson aint even close to Holmgren!! Nice try though tone!! Its funny when u get someone u dont want, but because he is on your team u try to hype him up!! Stop bein biased, and realize you have the worst coach in the NFL now!! But dont worry he wont be callin no shots, he will be a yes sir guy!!! Haha!! Yall are done!! GOT EM!!!
tell me, if he is a yes sir guy, a puppet like yall wanna call it, under bill walsh. then how can we fucking possibly be through or down the tube. you dumbfucks, walsh has championship rings buddy!!! He's the fucking inventor of the west coast offense that yall imitators use!!! GOT EM!!!
We'll be fine, i ain't even stressin...
We'll be fine, i ain't even stressin...
First off nigga he is not the worst coach in the NFL! And the Niners will have a better season than Dallas gauranteed!!!! Keep in mind Erickson is going to a playoff contending team that is a few steps away from being Super Bowl Champions! Even if Walsh and Donahue are making the decisions Erickson will shine and make good production or he will be gone and that is what it comes down to in the NFL nigga! We aint done, we just gettin started! SO FUCK ALL THE HATERS! NINERS BITCH!!!!!
ERICKSON IN NINER FASHION!
