Key Points:
- NC State is actively pursuing Philip Rivers for their head coaching position, with a meeting scheduled in Fairhope, Alabama, on November 4; a deal is expected soon, according to sources.
- Rivers, currently head coach at St. Michael Catholic High School in Alabama, is coaching his son and leading the team into the state playoffs, making the timing of the NC State meeting unusual.
- NC State fired longtime coach Dave Doeren on October 24 after 14 seasons, appointing Todd Goebbel as interim head coach; Rivers remains the primary candidate amid a search led by athletic director Boo Corrigan.
- Former NC State quarterback Russell Wilson has also interviewed for the job, with advisors including Bill Cowher and Dewayne Washington involved in the selection process.
- Rivers, a record-setting former NC State quarterback and NFL veteran, has no prior college or NFL coaching experience but has shown promise as a high school coach, with success at St. Michael and a previous NFL head coaching interview.
