N.C. State fires football coach Dave Doeren midway through his 14th season

N.C. State fired coach Dave Doeren on Saturday, ending a 14-season tenure in
which he set the program's all-time wins mark but could not make a breakthrough
leap to higher success.
The school announced the decision less than a day after the Wolfpack lost on
the road against a Stanford team picked to finish last in the Atlantic Coast
Conference.
Doeren, 54, had a 98-74 record with the Wolfpack and became the program's
winningest coach with a 2023 victory over Miami. He entered this year as the
fourth-longest-tenured coach in the Football Bowl Subdivision and second in the
ACC behind Clemson's Dabo Swinney.
