- Former Wolfpack stars Dewayne Washington and Bill Cowher are serving as consultants in the coaching search, having recently met with Rivers' agent in Memphis to facilitate the process.
- Despite Rivers' current focus on leading St. Michael’s football team into the playoffs, talks with NC State have been active over the past week, signaling serious interest and momentum toward his hiring.
- Although Russell Wilson interviewed for the job, sources indicate he initiated the conversation, and he is not seen as a competitor to Rivers for the position.
