N.C. State Fires Football Coach Dave Doeren Midway Through His 14th Season

  • On Saturday, Oct. 24, 2026, NC State announced the firing of head coach Dave Doeren less than 24 hours after the Wolfpack's 31-28 loss at Stanford on Friday, dropping the team to 3-4 overall.
  • Performance issues compounded after the Wolfpack fell to 1-3 in ACC play, adding to a difficult month that included a 38-14 home defeat against Wake Forest earlier this month.
  • Running backs coach and special teams coordinator Todd Goebbel will serve as interim head coach for the remainder of the season, having been a member of the Wolfpack staff since 2019.
  • NC State could owe Doeren approximately $9.75 million in remaining base salary; athletics director Boo Corrigan said, "I appreciate his leadership during his 14-year tenure and the passion he brought to this role."
  • In its official statement, NC State promised a "national search" for a new head coach, with the process beginning immediately to find Doeren's successor.
