The Niner's shitcan Erickson and Donahue, which is good, I guess. But just like removing Luke's scream was an obviously good decision that makes one wonder why it was ever added in the first place, firing Erickson makes one wonder why he was ever hired in the first place. Did anyone think that Erickson's tenure would end better than the 9-23 record he had? I refuse to believe anyone on Earth thought he'd be succesfull. If anything, that's marginally better than what I expected of him.

To be fair, a certain head coach once had an even worse record in his stay at Cleveland. He was awful. Local wags pondered whether or not he might be functionally retarded. He was fired, leaving everyone to wonder what thehell anyone was thinking when they hired him.

You know where this is going. That was Bill Belicheck.

Coaches often do better their second or third time around in the bigs, no matter how abysmal they were initially. Also, there is no correlation between college and pro performance (Pete Carroll is god in college when he could barely get the Patriots to win a game, and Bill Walsh was awful as a college coach). I think the NFL should only promote assistant pro coaches, and only hire college guys into assistant gigs. They don't because college coaches have to take a power (and, often, paycheck) hit to go from head college coach to pro assistant.

AS for Erickson: he was cheap (relatively), and he was friends with that scumsucking faggot York.
