NC State athletics announced football coach Dave Doeren has agreed to a new agreement extending his contract through the 2025 season. The new deal was approved by the NC State Board of Trustees Thursday.
Doeren and NC State are coming off an impressive 8-4 record during the 2020 season which saw the Wolfpack finish 7-3 in ACC action which set a new program mark for most ACC victories in a season while also earning a bowl bid. The bid was Doeren’s sixth in eight seasons in Raleigh and now sets up Doeren as the third-longest tenured coach in the ACC entering his ninth year leading the program.
“NC State football continues to have significant momentum under Dave’s leadership and this new agreement further reflects our commitment to the direction of our program” said Director of Athletics Boo Corrigan. “I’m grateful for the loyalty of Dave and Sara, they share our values and are rooted deeply within our community. Dave has assembled a highly-experienced and cohesive staff, there is great stability within our program and we will continue to invest in the forward progress of NC State football.”
Also included in the new deal, all assistant coaches were rewarded with raises. “I am thankful to Chancellor Woodson, Boo Corrigan, and our respective Boards for the opportunity to be at NC State and continue to build and lead this great program,” said Doeren. “Sara and I love Raleigh and the great state of North Carolina. Our children have been able to go to schools in the same city for their elementary, middle and high school years. Not many coaches can say that.
The Wolfpack will look to build on their record setting 2020 season as the 2021 season kicks off against South Florida on Thursday, September 2 inside Carter-Finley Stadium.
