Idaho To Reunite with Erickson?

Looks like Dennis Erickson is headed to Moscow. After not coaching last season, he MUST really miss coaching to go back there. :doh:

Idaho Football Ticket Sales Booming After Erickson Hire
POSTED: 10:12 am PST February 10, 2006

MOSCOW, Idaho -- Nothing like a little star power to get people into the Kibbie Dome.

After six consecutive losing seasons, Idaho has lured former coach Dennis Erickson back to the Palouse, bringing instant cachet to the Vandals' woeful football program.

Rob Spear has been athletic director for only two years, but is savvy enough to know the well-traveled Erickson, who turned around the fortunes of Idaho and Washington State in the 1980s and Oregon State in the late 1990s, is a legend in these parts.

The Vandals already are getting a return on their investment in the 58-year-old Erickson, Spear said Thursday. Erickson was signed Wednesday to a five-year contract, worth a maximum $1.5 million, including incentives.

"It's unbelievable. Our ticket sales are going like hotcakes," Spear said, noting the school's athletics Web site was temporarily shut down by increased activity on Wednesday.

Erickson will have the Vandals competing for the WAC title in 3 years or less. Of course, a win over Boise State could turn the tide in instate recruiting there. Good luck to him! GO CATAMOUNTS!!!
