Dothan, AL, October 24, 2026 —
N.C. State has fired football coach Dave Doeren, ending his 14-season tenure with the program. The available information identifies the decision and the length of Doeren’s time at the school but does not provide further details about the circumstances.
The reason for the firing was not provided. No information was included about when the decision was made, who will lead the team next, or whether N.C. State has named an interim coach. Details about the program’s plans following Doeren’s departure were also not provided.
The information available does not include a statement from Doeren, the university, or another representative. It also does not specify whether the school has announced a search for a replacement or outlined a timeline for any next steps. Those details remain unknown based on the information provided.
Doeren’s departure concludes a 14-season period as the football program’s coach. No records, season-by-season results, championship information, or other performance details were supplied, so the circumstances and broader sporting context of his tenure cannot be established from the available information.
For now, the confirmed development is limited to N.C. State’s decision to fire Doeren and the end of his 14-season tenure. Any further information about the rationale, coaching transition, or the team’s plans would require additional details not included in the report.
