After multiple days of negotiations, Philip Rivers is set to be NC State’s new coach.
Per On3, the school will hire the former Wolfpack QB to take over at the end of the season. NC State fired Dave Doeren after a 3-4 start to the season that included a disastrous loss to Vanderbilt.
Rivers doesn’t have any collegiate coaching experience and is currently the head coach at St. Michael Catholic High School in Alabama. His son, Gunner Rivers, is St. Michael’s QB. Gunner Rivers is a longtime NC State commit and a four-star prospect in the class of 2027.
