The University of Miami (also known as Miami of Florida, UM, or just The U) is a private non-sectarian University founded in 1925
Expectations were very high at Miami, as Erickson replaced the successful Jimmy Johnson, who had led the Hurricanes to 10-win season in the previous four seasons as well as a national championship before departing for the NFL's Dallas Cowboys. Jimmy Johnson, Jimmie Johnson or Jim Johnson may refer to Jimmy Johnson (American football (born 1938 Pro Football Hall of Fame cornerback The Dallas Cowboys are a professional American football team in the Eastern Division of the National Football Conference (NFC in the National Erickson led Miami for six seasons (1989-94), winning two national championships in 1989 and 1991. Erickson's . 875 winning percentage (63-9) at Miami remains the highest in the history of the program. However, he was receiving heat from many Miami fans near the end of his tenure. His 1993 team went 9-3 - the first season with fewer than 10 wins for Miami since 1985 - and lost its bowl game 29-0 to Arizona. In September 1994, the Hurricanes lost 38-20 to Washington at the Orange Bowl, snapping the Canes' NCAA record 58-game home win streak. Moreover, the Hurricanes were found to have broken many NCAA rules, and were placed on three years' probation not long after Erickson left the school.
Erickson was then hired as an NFL head coach. The National Football League ( NFL) is the largest professional American football league. He was with the Seattle Seahawks for four seasons (1995-98). The Seattle Seahawks are a professional American football team based in Seattle Washington, USA In his first season he switched QBs from 1993 #2 Overall Draft Pick Rick Mirer and went to John Friez who would guide the Hawks to their biggest comeback win ever in a game (rallying from 20-0 down at the half with Mirer starting) and taking the Hawks to the final week of the season with a playoff birth on the line only to lose to Kansas City and finish 8-8. In 1996 the Seahawks faltered but finished 7-9 (Erickson's worst record in Seattle). 1997 saw the Hawks turn into one of the best passing offenses in the league only to finish 8-8 due to bad Special Teams play. After the season the Hawks forced Erickson to fire longtime friend and assistant ST Coach Dave Arnold and replace him with Pete Rodriguiz. With a revamped lineup led by 1997 passing leader Warren Moon the Hawks flew out of the gate with 3 game winning streak (including a Kickoff Weekend shutout of the Eagles at Veterans Stadium) but stumbled and lost their next three games. Later in the year with the team playing at . 500 he turned to Jon Kitna to lead the offense and they responded with ac close win at home vs the Tennesee Oilers (now Titans) before going on the road to New York to play the Jets. In a hotly contested game that many viewed as the best combined offensive preformances of 1998 the game came down to an officiating call in the by Phil Luckett and Ernie Frantz (Referee and Back Judge) cost the Seahawks the game and would eventually knock them out of the playoffs. Many in Seattle argue his fate may have been different had Seattle won that game.
In 1999, Erickson made an immediate "u-turn" back to the college ranks.

The Oregon State Beavers football team represents Oregon State University (based in Corvallis Oregon) in NCAA Division I-A College football The Pacific-10 Conference ( Pac-10) is a college athletic conference which operates in the western United States. [2][3][4] Expectations were so low that Erickson's predecessor, Mike Riley, was promoted to an NFL head coaching position with the San Diego Chargers after leading the Beavers to a 5-6 record. Mike Riley (b 1952 Wallace Idaho) is the current Head coach of the Oregon State University Beavers football program The National Football League ( NFL) is the largest professional American football league. The San Diego Chargers are a professional American football team based in San Diego California.
In his first season, Erickson directed the Beavers to a 7-5 record, the program's first winning season in 28 years. The milestone was an impressive accomplishment for Erickson, but it is important to note he did so with many of Mike Riley's recruits.
The following year, Oregon State posted their best season in the program's 105 year history. [5] The team went 11-1, snapped a 26-year losing streak to the USC Trojans, and earned a share of the Pac-10 conference championship for the first time since 1964. The phrase "USC Trojans" also refers to the University of Southern California student body in general Oregon State began to develop a national reputation for its high-powered offense and a swarming defense.

At the close of the 2000 bowl games, the Beavers were ranked fourth nationally in the Associated Press top 25 College Football Poll[13] with some national media stating that Oregon State would have been a favorite to win the Bowl Championship Series (2000-2001 Orange Bowl) had they been in a position for selection.

Before the 2001 season, Sports Illustrated ranked Oregon State as the number one team in the nation. Sports Illustrated is an American Sports Magazine owned by media conglomerate Time Warner. [18] However, a lack of returning talent from the 2000 team took its toll, and the Beavers went 5-6.

Despite Erickson's success while coaching at Oregon State, his tenure with the program was far from spotless. Local critics coined Oregon State an "outlaw program" after two players were arrested for battery. The team also racked up a record number of penalties while on the field during the 2000 season. [19]
Aside from his shortcomings as a disciplinarian, Erickson was named Sporting News National Coach of the Year in 2000. Sporting News (previously The Sporting News, and known colloquially as TSN) is an American -based Sports His name also came up for several high-profile college football positions, including the head coaching position at USC.

Erickson remained coach at Oregon State for four seasons (1999-2002) before accepting another coaching position in the NFL. His early departure left some OSU fans angry with him for not finishing-out his contract, but he is still credited with playing a leading role in righting a sunken ship.
He chose to return to the NFL in 2003 with the San Francisco 49ers, a team with salary cap problems, and lasted just two seasons before being released along with general manager Terry Donahue, going 2-14 in 2004.

The 49ers had three defensive-minded head coaches as finalists for their head coaching vacancy, but the offensive-minded Erickson ended up being hired. The 49ers' offense had mostly players who specialized in the West Coast Offense that the previous head coach, Steve Mariucci, ran.
