TEMPE, Ariz. -- Dennis Erickson has been fired as Arizona State coach, a source told ESPN's Joe Schad, after another season in which the results didn't meet the expectations for the Sun Devils.

Erickson will coach the Sun Devils in whatever bowl game they play in, the source told Schad.

Erickson's job came into jeopardy after Arizona State lost its final four games following a 6-2 start, knocking the Sun Devils from contention to play in the inaugural Pac-12 championship game next Friday. He was 31-30 in five seasons in the desert.
