Chad JohnsonHOST
It was cool.
Chad JohnsonHOST
You know, Dennis Erickson gave me a opportunity, gave me a chance.
Chad JohnsonHOST
I did the most I could with that with my back against the wall, 'cause I understood that was my last shot.
Chad JohnsonHOST
It, it was cool.

Jordan BianucciHOST
That's, that's about it as far as importance, as far as, um, what it would mean for the national perception of BYU, and the Big 12 for that matter.
Tyson WhitingHOST
Especially with it being that late in the season because, you know, when they beat Miami in 1990 and when they beat Oklahoma in 2009, those were very early in the season or almost too early in the season, uh, to have great significance, even though both of those games were enormous victories, especially with Miami, uh, being what they were in 1990 with Dennis Erickson, Boh, Boh, as the head coach and Craig Erickson as the quarterback and just all sorts of NFL athletes everywhere.
Jordan BianucciHOST
Absolutely.
Jordan BianucciHOST
And this game is huge because you have a l- a absolute path to a college football playoff guaranteed almost if you can win this game, and then obviously if you win the Big 12 championship.
Chad DoingGUEST
So my dad went to Oklahoma State, but once we moved out here to the Northwest, I started to fall in love.
Chad DoingGUEST
I'm a big fan of Dennis Erickson, and so when he was coaching at WSU with his wide open offense and stuff, I kind of was drawn to that style of ball, and they had good quarterback play as well.
Chad DoingGUEST
So, um, you know, the Cougs for where they're tucked away in the Northwest have had a long history of good quarterback play, exciting offense.
Chad DoingGUEST
And but for me, that started with Dennis Erickson when he was coaching.
Connor WebbHOST
Now, your X account is Chad in Rip City.
Connor WebbHOST
Your name on X is Chad in Portland.
Brian MurphyHOST
But Seattle comes into the division, you're kinda like, "Yeah, whatever." But the Niners were terrible then.
Brian MurphyHOST
That was the Dennis Erickson, Mike Nolan, Mike Singletary.
Brian MurphyHOST
And really, this rivalry didn't really start until Jim Harbaugh got here-
Markus BoucherHOST
Mm-hmm

Ed Jones IIGUEST
Um-
Drew Jay DavisHOST
Maybe was it Dennis Erickson? Nah, I might be tripping.
Ed Jones IIGUEST
Oh.
Drew Jay DavisHOST
I might be tripping.
Dave from TumwaterAUDIENCE
So I couldn't make a better case than what Merle Jr. did with his recapitulation of the coaching staff.
Dave from TumwaterAUDIENCE
To reiterate my own point of view, this is the best coaching staff we've had since Dennis Erickson was there.
Dave from TumwaterAUDIENCE
These guys are great.
Dave from TumwaterAUDIENCE
They're imaginative.
Mike ParkerHOST
But in terms of a buzz, in terms of an excitement early in a year and just a... kind of a rejuvenation and feeling it does.
Mike ParkerHOST
It takes me back to those early Dennis Erickson years in a sense, but you're saying even in your 41 years, it feels even bigger than that in terms of what the energy, the, the, the sense of hope or what, what do you say? Why is it this the best in 41 years?
MikeAUDIENCE
I'm just saying that as a, as a player and as a coach, like I've never seen a team, not just with more energy, but with more detail.
MikeAUDIENCE
Um, detail oriented coaching.

Mike ParkerHOST
I bring this up about 12 for Jesse Legree because Jesse's only offer to be a receiver...
Mike ParkerHOST
People were recruiting him loosely as a DB and a return specialist and all that, but Jamarcus Shepard and Aaron Hodges, the GM, said, you can come here and be a receiver, and that resonated with Jesse.
Mike ParkerHOST
Your own recruitment, I've read, that the great Dennis Erickson was offering you at Miami to be maybe a tight end or whatever, coming out of great balls, but Mike Price said, no, you're a quarterback.
Mike ParkerHOST
Could you take us back a little bit what that meant to you, if indeed that story is true? Yeah, I didn't –
Mike ParkerHOST
That, that's excited Beaver Nation, as you might imagine here, just as Jamarcus Shepard and Jesse Legree and the current Beavers are.
Mike ParkerHOST
But that 2000 team is clearly held in el- in near reverence here for going 11 and one with Dennis Erickson and so on.
Mike ParkerHOST
The, the Chad Johnson on that team that year was one of the nicest guys I've ever been around.
Mike ParkerHOST
There was no the wide receiver diva in him at all.

... to, to get me through the tough football years.
speaker_6AUDIENCE
Um, so I'm driving back, I'm in Idaho right now.
speaker_6AUDIENCE
I was at the Colorado State game, and something moved me to call you, right? So the great years of D- Mike Riley and Dennis Erickson and Riley again-
Mike ParkerHOST
Mm-hmm
