ON3’s Andy Staples shared his Top-10 College Football Hot Seat Rankings yesterday, and NC State’s Dave Doeren ranked 5th.
Doeren wasn’t the only ACC coach in the Top 10. FSU’s Mike Norvell ranked 3rd, and UNC’s Bill Belichick ranked 6th.
Joe Giglio believes this will be Doeren’s final year as the Wolfpack’s head football coach. According to Giglio, Doeren had intended to retire after last season but was asked to coach one more year.
Doeren is NC State’s all-time winningest coach, with an overall record of 91–69. After going 3–9 in his first season in 2013 with an 0–8 conference record, the Wolfpack has steadily risen under his leadership.
