HCA: Dennis Erickson named to College Football Hall of Fame

Dennis Erickson wasn’t at Washington State for very long but the former Cougar coach has nothing but great things to say about his time spent in the rolling hills of the Palouse. On Monday it was announced that the 71-year-old coach will be inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame for the 2019 class.

Erickson was with the Cougars for just two years from 1987-88 and led the Cougars to a 3-7-1 record followed by a 9-3 record before his departure for Miami. This was not his first head coaching job on the Palouse however as he spent four seasons with the Idaho Vandals from 1982-85.
