Hired in January, Erickson was previously the head coach of the NFL's Seattle Seahawks for four years, preceded by six seasons at the University of Miami.[6][7][8] Predecessor Mike Riley had left the Beavers after just two seasons for the NFL's San Diego Chargers,[9][10] then returned to Corvallis in February 2003.[11][12]
