Erickson may not be the only thing out at ASU


It sounds like there's going to be more than one head rolling at Arizona State on Monday.

The Associated Press reported Sunday, that head coach Dennis Erickson will be removed from the program and rightfully so, considering his football team blew numerous chances to take control of the Pac-12 South and dropped four games in a row.

However, Calvisi later tweeted that ASU should not hold back the news about Erickson's expected dismissal nor the calling for a press conference because there could be much bigger news coming out of ASU:

A shakeup of the entire ASU Athletics department.

It may seem rash but, considering how far ASU football was expected to go this year, it doesn't surprise. The program is now looking at going to a low-level bowl that won't bring in a lot of money or encourage fans to pack up their bags to see their team.

Love has come under harsh criticism at times this season, thanks to her continuous support of Erickson and her handling of numerous other things, including a baseball program that was forced to vacate wins and violated numerous NCAA rules.

While all of this is yet to be confirmed or announced, it seems like a shakeup at ASU is not only inevitable, but is going to be much larger than originally thought.

    The horrific football program and the crappy basketball program is all about Lisa Love. Erickson and Sindek are capable coaches who are not getting enough support and direction from above. Sad to say but Dennis needs to be gone... I could have coached all that talent to at least 8 wins. I say get rid of Lisa Love, send her back to USC. Hire Leach as football coach. I own 5 season tickets and I want to see some wins!!!

    This is the best news yet, a perfect way to use the current "theme" for the football season. There will be much rejoicing if Love is also shown the door.

    Not that I want to see anyone lose their livelihood, but Lisa Love needs to go. She'll catch on somewhere else with her resume.

    Yeah, she'll catch on somewhere else, and then ruin that school's athletic program. It's been going downhill since she got here.
