Let's make this birthday one to remember.

78 years old (Born on March 24, 1947)

Happy Birthday, Coach Erickson! Let's face it — anyone who guided the Miami Hurricanes to two national championships and stage-dived into bowl victories at Oregon State definitely deserves extra icing on that birthday cake. Your legendary sideline antics were almost as memorable as your wins.

While most coaches just rack up trophies, you added pizzazz: making Arizona State fans believe again (at least until halftime!). We still chuckle remembering how animated you'd get after a tough call—giving officials subtle tips loudly enough for folks three counties over to hear clearly. Here's wishing your special day is free of penalty flags and filled with endless laughter!
