NC State Hires Philip Rivers as Head Football Coach
North Carolina State University formally hired Philip Rivers as its head football coach on Nov. 11, the school announced in Raleigh, Wake County. Rivers, 44, returns to his alma mater. Former head coach Dave Doeren was dismissed on Oct. 24 after a 3-4 start, and an interim coach has led the team since. Rivers' son Gunner has already committed to play at NC State. The university's board is expected to approve the contract this week. Rivers, a longtime NFL quarterback, takes over a program looking to reset after a disappointing season, and his hiring has energized the Wolfpack fan base ahead of signing day.
