Two coaches at forefront of North Carolina-NC State rivalry game

Posted Nov 23, 2018
It’s a common assumption that Dave Doeren was on his way out the door as NC State’s football coach until his Wolfpack upset North Carolina in the 2016 regular season finale. Even Doeren acknowledges that the 28-21 victory almost certainly saved him from getting fired. Three years later, it’s the Tar Heels and Doeren’s counterpart Larry Fedora that are on the hot seat.
