PITTSBURGH — A person familiar with the decision says Pittsburgh coach Todd Graham is leaving the Panthers to take the same position at Arizona State.

Graham will replace Dennis Erickson said the person, who spoke on condition of anonymity because an official announcement has not been made.

Erickson was dismissed following a 6-6 season in which the Sun Devils dropped their final four games.

Graham spent just one season in Pittsburgh, where he led the Panthers to a 6-6 mark and a tie for fourth place in the Big East.

The move caps a tumultuous season for the Panthers, who announced in September they’re leaving the Big East for the ACC by 2014 and will now be looking for their fourth head coach in the last 13 months.

Graham replaced Mike Haywood, who was originally tabbed to replace Dave Wannstedt after Wannstedt stepped down at the end of the 2010 regular season.

There was no immediate word on who would coach the Panthers in the BBVA Compass Bowl against SMU.
