The unique potential reward would be that, if he wins, he would likely stay and for less $. Chance to get a head coach and possibly quality QB on a discount. Would likely hit the ground with more velocity on fundraising, which combined with the above, could build a roster fast.
A thought — Rivers is being touted already as a “high risk, high reward” hire. Why is the “reward” with him higher than any other guy that turns out to be a really good coach, with maybe a lower “risk”?

You can point to some other things too when it comes to building a staff and recruiting outside of just available cash. But there's a lot of "unproven" between hiring Philip and succeeding in building a well-funded, consistent program. There's the risk.

Definitely a high ceiling given that it will likely pump the funding. The risk part comes from the parts of the job that happen after that. A lot of teams out there proving that you can waste your money. Doesn't mean Philip can't do the job. It's just a ? that will exist.

Yes. It is a risk, but it is a risk with a very high reward.

My guess is it will ultimately be Philip, and Im open minded to it but it's obviously high risk. Think the first priority is establishing process for navigating the financial management of the roster.

No staff treated HS coaches and NC HS Football better the last 14 years than Doeren’s staff at NC State. He and his staff had a great run and should be appreciated/celebrated and not remembered for the finish.

Last 2 offensive plays where CJ was working Keenan's outside fade into the boundary. Those were two incredible plays on the ball. Ain't seen much of those chances for Keenan this year for some reason. Game 1, CJ threw 2 outside verticals. One to Locklear and one to Warren.

The preseason semi-hype around this team was always bizarre. Full of holes. Never a contender. Easy schedule was the entire foundation of that stuff it felt like.
The weirdest part about this season is they were actually talking this team up preseason. What did they see in practice?This group is barreling towards being Dave’s worst team. Prior to this game they were +1.1. -4.8 in 2013 and -8.3 in 2019. Gap is closing quickly

A humiliating performance. Stanford scored 7 points or less in 4 of 5 P5 games this year. It did whatever it wanted on offense.

Stanford is running the ball really effectively, has largely underutilized it, and still moved the ball at will. Not great.

Just really poor at all levels defensively

They are getting to the QB now and that's the difference

Stanford was able to spill that counter and Gause actually forced a missed tackles.
