These are generally bad decisions. Rivers seems different though.

They’re the only ACC team that hasn’t played in an ACC championship (other than the most recent California schools) and they’ve been in the league forever.

They have absolutely nothing to lose and at least they’ll bring some excitement back, even if it’s very brief.

Once again, a university goes all in to win a press conference. It will not end well.

Is one of his 30 sons at least as good as Shadeur and near college age?

You’re right, it’s giving clinically retarded vibes

I like him but he’s not qualified to be a P4 coach. When only school would even give him an interview, nothing else needs to be said. A less experienced Deion without the recruiting prowess, what could possibly go wrong?

When the dust settles and we’re in the final Super League, this program isn’t going to be anywhere near the cut

Totally agree. They put up with Doeren doing just enough to keep his job for well over a decade. The most noteworthy thing about NC State football in recent years was the catastrophic finish to the Vandy game this season.

The energy around the program was stagnant, so I understand rolling the dice on Rivers. Even if the hire ultimately doesn't work out, they'll still generate more interest than NC State has had in ages.
