NC State finished 2015 with one fewer win than it had in 2014, suffered an ugly loss in its bowl game, and fired its offensive coordinator. That’s not where Dave Doeren hoped his team would be, but when we caught up with the Wolfpack head coach, he also said there’s plenty of progress in Raleigh, too.
Q: How do you evaluate this season? Was it a step forward? A step back? About the same?
Doeren: I think there was progress in some palpable areas. We were able to go through some tough injuries and still produce.
