I don’t think Doeren is going anywhere soon. I’m not an X-and-O guy, but judging from the material we’ve got on the field, I don’t know who else would do much better right now, other than a handful of coaches like Nick Saben, Jim Harbaugh, Urban Meyer or Bob Stoops.
I’ll repeat it- until NC State gets a REAL quarterback, and not an upperclassman red shirt, our program isn’t likely to start showing significant improvement. If b-ball doesn’t have a good point guard, it’s the same thing for football without a good QB.
I am not knocking Brissett. He is trying to play a position that he’s not cut out to play at a high level. If he had decent speed, he might pull it off, but let’s face it- even with a good group of receivers, it’s doubtful that he could pass us to a lot of wins.
Mike London has taken UVA football into the toilet for over half a decade now, but for some reason administrators there are determined that they can make him into a successful football coach. With the long tenures of Herb Sendek, Sidney Lowe and Tom O’Brien at NCSU, who overstayed their welcome for many seasons, I don’t expect our administrators to act much differently. Education administrators seem loathe to fire mediocre coaches.
If we don’t start winning some recruiting wars, I just don’t see much change for us, given that the ACC has put us in an almost impossible position in the Atlantic Division.
