After going 32-15 in his first head coaching gig at Idaho, Erickson went to WSU and led the Cougars to their first bowl win in 66 years. He then went 63-9 at Miami before joining the NFL's Seattle Seahawks for a four-year stint.

Last season, after short stops with the San Francisco 49ers and back at Idaho, Erickson took over a downtrodden Arizona State program and led the Sun Devils to a 10-3 record and top-10 national ranking. • Terry Ennis: A compassionate champion 8/3/08 • Marv Harshman: A true teacher 8/3/08 • Moving from player to coach 8/2/08 • Everett has reputation for turning out quality coaches 8/1/08 • Coaches followed in their fathers' footsteps 8/1/08 Click names below to read about other top coaches • 12.
