Was coach. Part of my work included tutoring scholie athletes. The football players told me Erickson didn't want anything to do with them off field. He told them if you have ANY problems, you go to your position cosches, GAs, or councilor. Don't bother me.
Needless to say, players hated him. Erickson didn't care. He had a job to do, he didn't have a lot of time, and wasn't going to waste any of it on his players. Very successful, but not popular, HC..
