North Carolina State is reportedly considering former Wolfpack quarterback Philip Rivers for their vacant head coach job. That’s the word coming from ESPN’s Pete Thamel, and it dropped right after the school fired longtime program leader Dave Doeren Saturday night.
The Wolfpack is Looking Home
Rivers isn’t new to coaching, having led St. Michael Catholic High School in Fairhope, Alabama, since 2021. This isn’t just some random name being tossed around for the job; he’s got real-world coaching experience under his belt, even if it’s at the high school level.
A Son’s Commitment, A Father’s Path
But the real twist here, the one that makes this whole thing feel wild, is that his son, Gunner Rivers, a legit 4-star quarterback, is already committed to play for NC State next year. Imagine your dad becoming your college head coach? That’s the scenario potentially brewing in Raleigh, and it changes everything about this coaching search.
This is just the start of the conversation, with more details and analysis expected soon. Keep your eyes peeled on what NC State does next, because this could be an absolute game-changer for the program.
