Who said anything about stopping other schools? This is about 1) keeping pace and 2) the fact that the Indianas/UCLAs of the world are winning because of their spending, not coaching. Unsurprised you missed the point though
Here’s the biggest issue you’re not Indiana or UCLA these are much bigger schools with bigger brands. Indiana has largest living alumni base ucla is in California… you think schools going to stop getting good NIL and yours is going to come out your ass.

One is a top QB in NFL history, one of the greatest football minds of our time, AND has a vested interest at the school as the greatest player in its history. Bill's tie to UNC was he wore their sweatshirt one time as a kid.
Rivers won’t be worse than where Doeren was headed but it is funny to see the same fanbase that has killed the school over the Hill for a gimmick Belichick hire laud the same thing by our school

Or, and hear me out...Dave Doeren as DC. (ducks)

If I was NC State & Rivers this would be my staff: OC/QBC: Either Cam Adkins or Garrett Riley RBC: Thomas Brown WRC: Chansi Stuckey Co-WRC/PGC: Jericho Crotchery TEC: Noel Mazzone OLC/RGC: Matt Luke STC/AHC: Todd Goebbel Torry Holt & Mario Edwards as Analyst/Player Dev.

UCLA ($29M). Indiana ($36M). NC State (maybe $22M). Out here acting like it isn't the money winning right now. When are you morons going to understand that donors wouldn't spend more on NIL unless it was with Philip as HC?

That’s not what Indiana/UCLA/Oklahoma State did.

The money is, unfortunately, necessary to compete on a higher than average level these days. State will get it with Philip. Surround him with good coaches, kids will want to play for him if they can also make the NIL work too

I think Philip may have kids older than your coach's adult cheerleading ex girlfriend
NC State deadass flamed us so much for hiring Belichick and now they are gonna hire Philip rivers😭

Not quite apples to apples, but I guarantee you the Anthony Russo's of the world wouldn't say anything like this if Tom Brady took the job at Michigan
Just feels like a lazy process from NC State to get short term praise from boosters and the fanbase. Don’t see this working long term and feels like a lot of stronger candidates were skipped over

Yes, because Trent Dilfer is the same caliber player as *checks notes* the NFL's 6th all-time passing and TD leader
Dumb hire and says a lot about how NC State views themselves. FYI this is not Colorado hiring Deion. This is UAB hiring Trent Dilfer. Rivers has no experience as a coach in CFB and is only being hired because he is an alum and has a son who is a 4-star QB.

The only decision. Love it.
BREAKING: Philip Rivers is coming home. The NC State legend is finalizing a deal to return to the Wolfpack as the program's 37th head coach, as we reported to @PackPower247 subscribers on Saturday. ✍️: 247sports.com/college/north-…

Controversial opinion maybe. Dave Doeren DC/Recruiting coach, who says no? VT did it...

14 fast break points, 5 steals, 3 blocks in 1st half. Unlike any team at NC State since basically 2016, maybe this team has an identity.

Just continuing to go downhill with their "reporting." Knowing these kids weren't coherent when Dave took the helm, there's no way they know how bad it really was before. Dave hit a ceiling, but he raised the floor. Show some respect, this is garbage

Dude 🥲 Nothing but respect for Dave. He represented the program well. I still wish there was a way to gracefully bow out, but that's the nature of the business. Obviously loved by his players. In time, I know WPN as a whole will look back on these years fondly. Thanks Dave.
Former NC State WR Thayer Thomas posted a tribute to Dave Doeren on TikTok. “He believed in me when nobody did,” Thomas wrote. It’s narrated by a motivational voicemail he received from Doeren after he made a mistake in an NFL game:

Much love and respect for Coach Doeren, I think that he deserved to finish the season out at the very least.

It's time. He should have retired last year. But hey, I still have a lot of admiration for what Dave did over 14 years at State. 9-4 against UNC by itself is enough to earn my respect. Thanks DD. It's P Rivers time. Make it happen.
