Autograph Collection – Autograph #363

Dennis Erickson – San Francisco 49ers

My Autograph #363 is an 8×10 autographed photograph of former San Francisco 49ers head coach Dennis Erickson.

The photograph is personalized with my name, Danny, and includes the inscription "GO NINERS!" along with his signature. It's a nice piece of memorabilia from his time coaching in the NFL.

Dennis Erickson became the 14th head coach in San Francisco 49ers history when he was hired in February 2003. He coached the team during the 2003 and 2004 seasons, compiling a 9-23 regular-season record.

Before joining the 49ers, Erickson had an impressive coaching career at the college level. He coached the University of Miami Hurricanes from 1989 through 1994, winning two national championships in 1989 and 1991. He also coached the Seattle Seahawks and Oregon State Beavers.

One interesting fact about Erickson is that he was named The Sporting News National Coach of the Year in 2000 after leading Oregon State to an outstanding 11-1 season and a Fiesta Bowl victory.

Unfortunately, I don't have a record of when I sent the autograph request or when this photograph arrived. Nevertheless, it's another great addition to my growing collection.
