State fires football coach Dave Doeren midway through his 14th season By AARON BEARD AP Sports Writer 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. ___ Sign up for Top 25 poll alerts here.
