Smith to Oregon State

Looks like Erickson and SmithFS to Oregon State

According to John Canzano of the Oregonian, ex-Beavers coach Dennis Erickson has pitched the Beavers on hiring him to replace Gary Andersen, who resigned in October midway through his third season. Erickson went 31-17 with OSU from 1999-2002, including an 11-1 record and a Fiesta Bowl win over Notre Dame in 2000.

Ryan Nall could use his grad transfer year. Think he could be a good fit at UW with Salvon Ahmed as a 1-2 punch if he is interested in what winning football looks like.

White running backs are the best

There's a big difference between Dennis drunkenly pitching this to the OSU AD, and it actually happening. Let's cork the champagne until this pipe dream actually happens.

Uncle Denny off the sauce might be formidable.

I would have hired Don James after Rick

Fans are like that. Nobody has done what Denny did at Oregon State

The Beau Baldwin pitch: I can find under-the-radar recruits and turn them into Cooper Kupp and Vernon Adams for you.

The Dennis Erickson pitch: I won a Fiesta Bowl for you back in the year your next recruiting class was born. How much has football changed since then?

As a Quook, I definitely like the second one better.

The rotting corpse of Bill Snyder brought K State back to mediocrity after he had retired and they fell off the cliff

Why not? It's a replay from the past when Mike Riley returned to Corvallis (replacing Erickson).

Pete leaving and Smith being promoted to head coach with playcalling duties would be great.

The Doogicide would be funny.

The sauce is what gives him his power

Yikes! Let’s compare situations. Suitcase Denny arrived in Corvallis after the San Diego Chargers hired Mike Riley to be their Head Coach. They were on the rise when He got there.


While Denny may have still been on the sauce, He was still in his prime. It was his first college gig after an 8-8 fest in the NFL. And Denny was as good of college coach as there was in his prime.

However Denny is 20 years older now and OSU is Pettibone era now. While Denny is one of the great college coaches of his era. He’s not Bill Snyder who has bled for one school for 40 years. He won’t be able to assemble a staff that can go out and rip the fallen angels like He had before in Corvallis. Would be a bad move for them.

Never stopped them before. They hired Jerry Pettibone for fucks sake.

Then they made these socks for their FOOTBALL TEAM:

Jerry Pettibone is my favorite classy Beaver coach

We used to get the NW coaches shows on the old Prime network

Taggart leaving for Florida State, collapsing your recruiting class and all program momentum, and handing us Treshaun on a silver platter would be great. Please and thank you.

Coaching changes don't always collapse recruiting classes. UW fans just see it that way, but it didn't actually happen here when TW or Sark left. Neither of those assholes bothered recruiting their last season leaving the new guy to start from scratch (Pete succeeded, Sark did not).

This isn't the case at Oregon. They have the resources to get a good staff quickly, and the new staff would have a good core of commits to work with. They'd lose a few but their class would be fine.

Momentum? But I thought he was Black Sark?

You know, cause he’s black and you guys had Sark. It’s just the maths.

The win for UW would be long term. The FLA kids would bail on them this year, but long term UW is still competing for that core of commits you're talking about.
