Dave Doeren talked at length on Monday about N.C. State’s annual military appreciation day.
The Wolfpack coach said it was one of his favorite games of the year because his father, Bill, served in the Air Force, and his father-in-law Stan VanderWoude, served in the Army during the Vietnam War.
What Doeren did not talk about on Monday was how he would react to protests by NFL players during the national anthem. The controversy started last year with Colin Kaepernick and was more widespread across the league on Sunday after remarks by President Donald Trump.
“I’m not in the NFL, so I don’t have to deal with that,” Doeren said.
