RED HOT TAG

JR-College football question. Big Arizona State fan. Grew up there and got lots of hand me down ticket from an aging grandfather who couldn't make many games as he got older but always bought season tickets to support the team. Needless to say we haven't had much to cheer about for a decade or so. Dennis Ericson is in his 3rd year as head coach and it seems like if the team is going to turn the corner it should be this year or next. He has had two years to get his recruits in and let them learn the system. There will be a new QB as Rudy Carpenter is gone now. Wondering if you have followed Ericsons career at all and have any opinion on him. Or just an opinion on how a college football team should progress in the first five years of a new coach. Go Devils!!!

J.R.'s Answer:

I know that Ericson is highly thought of in the CFB world by his peers. The Rock played for Ericson at Miami and always talked highly of him. I know he had a DUI or two but that's life nor does it make him a bad guy. I am personal friends with Mike Stoops at Arizona so I am always going to lean with my friends so I don't wish ASU ill but I'm pulling for 'Zona.
