NC State and Dave Doeren are nearing a contract extension, according to ESPN’s Andrea Adelson. The years and financial terms have not been specified, but Doeren is expected to get a pay bump to around $5 million per year, which would put his salary in the top half of the ACC.
Doeren definitely should rank in the top half of the league in salary based on the results that he and his staff have been able to deliver, though five million bucks is still an eye-opening number for a coach at NC State. But the cost of doing business continues to rise across the sport.
