NFL: 49ers hire Erickson!
http://espn.go.com/nfl/news/2003/0211/1507238.html
They went college! After people were *****ing and moaning, they got a high profile collegiate coach and look like they are in good shape. Oh, and to say he isn't a good pro coach because he didn't suceed in Seattle, is silly, because we are talking about SEATTLE here!

We shall see about this one... While you may think he is a good choice, and don't blame him for his bland record in Seattle... I think he is terrible choice. He did a miserable job in Seattle... So it looks like SF has made two awful choices now... First, they got rid of a good coach, and now they have replaced him with a NFL failure...

Mooch had losing record in college (his only head coaching experience) before the 9ers hired him. They were screaming bloody murder back then as well. The 9ers will survive and thrive.

Mooch hadn't shown he couldn't hack the NFL... I think the 49'ers are in serious trouble.

Because Mike Holgrem and Tom Flores, Superbowl winning coaches that were after and before Erickson in Seattle really had great sucess in Seattle  .
The Niners are fine. They'll win the division again.

The 49'ers just wanted to go cheap... It looks like they are saving 50% of what mooch wanted and got from Detroit. The "experts" on ESPN are trashing them for the choice... and they all say that Erickson has proven to be a joke as a NFL Coach... we shall see.
It will be interesting to see what Garcia says after this selection. He has called the entire process a joke...

The 'experts' are also saying $5 million a year for Mooch is WAAAAY too much. The Niners made the right choice by not paying him that much.
We will see, but I think Erickson will be a good coach for the Niners, especially since he has some tools to work with now.

Hmmmm....this has been weird. I'm a Lions fan, but I also root for the Beavers, who have lost a good coach. A local article said Erickson would have left soon anyhow, and we're better off not losing him to a Pac 10 school. But they worshipped that guy--remember the Beavers were on a 28 yr. losing streak!
I don't know if he has what it takes in the NFL, but I do not generally believe that the majority of coaches (aside from Gruden maybe) have the ability to single-handedly will a team to victory. He'll be adequate.
I just hope Mariucci can break the Lions out of their doldrums. If he can orchestrate some good WR's, a better RB and tutor Harrington into a star (and he has the potential, folks) then I say SF's loss is my gain, paid for by the Beavers!
Go Ducks!

I never thought Mariuchi was a good coach, and Ericson's tenure at Seattle proves nothing, Holmgren is there and doing little even though he is a very good coach. BRING BACK BILL WALSH!

I love E's press conference. "I want to win a National Championship"
Maybe somebody should tell him that he isn't coaching college football anymore

Lol, took me a sec to see his blunder there, but he did a good job at Miami and Oregon St, so I'm happy with the change.

Hmm... apparently some news reports are coming out that Erickson was contacted THREE weeks ago. Some rumblings from SF newspapers say the hiring process was just a show to demonstrate to the NFL that the Niners respected minorities.
Hmmm...

I agree. On any other team, he might be a good fit. But on the 9ers, where there is huge pressure to excel year in and year out, why pick someone who floundered on his first opportunity?
Then again, Im sure the lions will grind Mariucci into meat paste, just like every other coach they've had- no Lion's coach has gone on to coach another team.........EVER.

Really 
I didn't know that... but then again, it doesn't surprise me
Bears ex-coaches always end up somewhere else, and fail

That's true only if you don't count George Wilson or Buddy Parker or Bo McMillan or Hall of Famer Dutch Clark.

well ok,  If you're going to count old fussyfarts from the prehistoric era, you have a point. In my lifetime at least, every coach they've had has been pulverized into oblivion. I hope Mooch will be an exception.
