Dennis Erickson Football Quotations

Obviously the focal point on any football team is the quarterback, there is no question about that. And I feel very, very good about Steve.

Just being around the players and coaches; the camaraderie of the game; to see them learn and get better, improve all the time; and being around the coaches and coaching football, which is what I do best. Probably the most fun is to see them get better as a football team and as individuals.

I just thought it was an opportunity for me to come back, give back and get back to coaching college football ... my first love.

I haven't seen them on the field. When you look at it on tape, when you win two football games, you haven't done a lot of good things, to be honest.

The challenge here is to win, to compete for the conference championship and to go to bowl games. Yeah, I love it here. I came here because I'm a football coach and I want to help the University of Idaho become successful.
