Ole Miss athletic director Pete Boone and chancellor Robert Khayat were in California to meet with Erickson. Boone called Donahue last night to request the interview as he seeks a replacement for David Cutcliffe.
Erickson has three seasons and $7.5 million left on his Niners contact. But the Niners are 2-11 this season after going 7-9 in Erickson's first season with the team.
Donahue has said he won't fire Erickson, and Erickson has stated he won't quit.
Erickson has had success at the college level. He went 31-17 in four years at Oregon State before joining the 49ers. Before that he won two national championships in six seasons at Miami.
