NC State set to hire Philip Rivers as next coach: Legendary Wolfpack QB aims to turn around alma mater
Philip Rivers has agreed to become NC State's next coach, returning to the program where he starred in college. He will replace Dave Doeren, who was fired after a Week 8 loss to Stanford with a 98-73 record at NC State.
The job will be Rivers' first college coaching position; he has coached high school football since 2021. NC State will need investment to upgrade its roster through the transfer portal, while Rivers' son, four-star quarterback Gunner Rivers, remains committed to the Wolfpack.
Do you view NC State hiring Philip Rivers despite his "first college coaching position" as a worthwhile gamble?

UConn's Nik Khamenia to have foot surgery, be rechecked in 6-8 weeks
UConn starting forward Nik Khamenia will undergo surgery on his left foot and be reevaluated in six to eight weeks, coach Dan Hurley said. Khamenia was injured during the No. 4 Huskies' 83-41 win over Wagner on Monday and initially stayed in the game before leaving for good.
Khamenia led UConn with 11 points in the first half against Wagner. The Duke transfer also recorded 14 points and six rebounds in UConn's season-opening win over Gardner-Webb.
