The N.C. State board of trustees on Friday gave approval to a new five-year contract for Wolfpack football coach Dave Doeren.
The contract will pay Doeren $3 million a year. His old contract with the school, which had three years remaining, paid him about $2.2 million a year.
Doeren, according to a source with knowledge of the situation, had asked for a five-year deal and a raise that would put him in the middle of the ACC pack of coaches, financially. He also sought more money for his assistant coaches.
The Pack is 8-4 and ranked No.
