Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 25 Oct, 00:02 · Archive

N.C. State has fired football coach Dave Doeren midway through his 14th season after the team fell to 3-4.

N.C. State fired coach Dave Doeren on Saturday, ending his 14-season tenure. The decision came less than a day after the Wolfpack fell to 3-4 with a loss to Stanford, a team picked to finish last in the Atlantic Coast Conference.

Doeren, 54, compiled a 98-74 record and became the program's winningest coach with a 2023 victory over Miami. He had been the fourth-longest-tenured coach in the Football Bowl Subdivision and second in the ACC behind Clemson's Dabo Swinney. Athletic director Boo Corrigan said: "I want to thank Coach Doeren for his service and contributions to N.C. State, and for always representing the university with pride."

Under Doeren, N.C. State secured 11 bowl bids, with eight teams reaching eight or nine wins, including a 9-4 record against rival North Carolina. Yet the program never played for an ACC championship or reached the ten-win threshold achieved only once in its history. Running backs coach and special teams coordinator Todd Goebbel will serve as interim coach for the remainder of the season.
