Ah, the Triangle schools. Where the food costs more than the tickets.
I think NC State jumped a little early on him. 2 years at NIU with someone else's players, players who were cream of the crop for that level of competition. No proven ability to build a program. Defensive Coordinator background. And when he was hired NC State needed BUILDING not even just maintaining.
So far he is
'13: 3-9 (0-8)
'14: 8-5 (3-5) (bowl win)
'15: 7-6 (3-5) (bowl loss)
'16: 2-1 (0-0)
I think this year he needs to make a move in conference and go 4-4 or even 5-3. Certainly needs 6 or 7 regular season wins to maintain momentum, and ideally a bowl win to go 8-5 or 9-4.
Losses to Louisville, FSU, Clemson almost guaranteed, Must-win games are Wake Forest, Syracuse, Boston College. Probable losses to Miami, UNC (and Notre Dame) but if they pull a win in any of those, or upset one of the 'big 3' in the Atlantic then I think his job is safe for another year/extension. And heck, the way Notre Dame is playing that may even be a winnable match-up since it's a home game and ND is a shitstorm right now.
You gotta remember when evaluating Doeren - He started with nothing, similar to Mendendall at LOLUVA, and has built them into a team that is on the plus-side of .500 thanks to OOC cakewalks. He's gotta show some positive movement and get beyond .500 in conference now that he's increased the talent level.
Awesome collection. Thanks for your efforts.
Better than George George?
Stoops is one coach I do not want to see go.

I have a good friend that played for coach O and absolutely dispises the man. Said he was the worst person he has ever played for.
The main obstacle to switching systems is the OL and a QB. QB can be solved in a season or two. Same goes for the OL, especially if they go for a quick-strike type spread offense. ECU/Duke style, (or hell even Fuente/Cornelsen style) where the ball goes where it goes quickly to minimize the impact of a pass rush, masking deficiencies on the OL.
yeah tech students don't know the words to any of the songs
Reminds me of the 99 team motto. They didn't want to go 11-0, they wanted to go 1-0 11 times.
4 tickets in section 203! Look forward to seeing for maroon and orange than Carolina blue in the stadium!
Yeah, but playing that in the THIRD quarter against WVU, while awesome, was kinda much.
Yeah, like the NCSU coach, RichRod has a pillow year. But if they win 3 or 4 games, next year will be rough.
They should make ND/NC St a nooner.
We get the Irish's 3:30 slot.

# | With a Bye Week to Breathe, Justin Fuente Offers His Thoughts on Potential Anthem Protests Thanks for update! I was curious as well. Even if it isn't major, this bye week helps.
As long as the post above is accurate, you can get the tickets on UNCheat's website.
Also....you can get UNC tickets for $25 EACH. Go to http://goheels.com/tickets and click on Promotions..then use "FACULTY" for the code. Let's fill it up.
All homerism aside, I expect this team to win the Coastal and compete well in the ACCCG, barring injury to a certain QB who is making the most of his starting opportunity. Since we are losing a host of key contributors this year including Sam, Isaiah, Bucky(probably) Clark, Williams, Ekanimal and others, I feel like we could even see some regression next year. VT is very talented and motivated this season to win, and winning the ACCCG, one game at a time, is my expectation.
You need better friends.
Holy shit! 5-1! (I hope that's right) back in it baby! Until next time.
The comeback is on.
Tag! You owe me 5 yards!
Woooooh back above .500!!!

George George IV. Don't want to confuse him with the other three.
