- He coached at Idaho and Arizona State after that and at Utah briefly as a positional coach, retiring in 2016.
- Erickson compiled a 179-96-1 record as a college coach.
- Dennis heard the siren’s call one last time, and was lured out of retirement by the Alliance of American Football in 2018, coaching the Salt Lake City Stallions to a 2-5 record before the league fell apart.
ACCOLADES:
- State of Washington Hall of Fame 2017

NOTES:
This is an absolutely terrible card of Dennis. They could have actually airbrushed his face a bit more, but instead he looks like a craggily zombie with that green filter. Dennis has a pretty interesting coaching tree under him that includes Jim Zorn, Tommy Tuberville, Dan Quinn, Ed Orgeron, and Jim Mora Jr.
