Summary
A day after a 31-28 loss to Stanford dropped NC State to 3-4, the school fired head football coach Dave Doeren and launched an immediate national search.
14 years into Doeren's tenure, the Wolfpack had slipped to 1-3 in ACC play, with the coach saying after Friday's defeat that he had not prepared the team well enough.
98-73 is Doeren's final record at NC State, where he took the program to 11 bowl games in 13 full seasons and posted winning records in 10 campaigns.
Todd Goebbel, the running backs coach and special teams coordinator since 2019, will serve as interim head coach starting with NC State's Halloween home game against California.
Doeren becomes the second FBS coach dismissed this season after Maryland parted with Mike Locksley earlier in the week.
