THE BOWLS DAILY REPORT : ORANGE : Seahawk Questions Silence Erickson
Miami Coach Dennis Erickson walked out of an interview after practice when asked about the Seattle Seahawks’ coaching job.
Erickson, preparing the No. 3 Hurricanes for Sunday’s Orange Bowl against No. 1 Nebraska, has been mentioned regarding NFL coaching jobs in Seattle, Denver and expansion Carolina.
When asked about Tom Flores’ likely ouster as the Seahawks’ coach, Erickson walked away from reporters without a word. Flores, coming off a 6-10 season, is to have his future in Seattle determined this week when he meets with team owner Ken Behring.
In November, Erickson said he would entertain NFL offers. In the last two weeks, the former Washington State coach has been rumored as the front-runner to replace Flores.
The Hurricanes are 63-8, including two national championships, in Erickson’s six years.
