Dennis Erickson has accepted the head coaching job at Arizona State, Idaho athletic director Rob Spear said Saturday night.

Erickson, 59, spent one season at Idaho in his second stint at the school, going 4-8. He led Miami to two NCAA titles, also has been a head coach at Wyoming, Washington State and Oregon State and coached Seattle and San Francisco in the NFL.

Erickson has a 149-64-1 record in 18 seasons as a U.S. college coach. At Oregon State, he helped turn one of the game's most unsuccessful programs into a winner, coaching the Beavers to a Fiesta Bowl triumph over Notre Dame.

Arizona State sports information director Mark Brand had no comment, but Spear said Erickson told him Saturday afternoon that he was accepting the Sun Devils' job.
