Rex "Two-Point" GridleyNC State has fired Dave Doeren after a three and four start, on the heels of a thirty-one to twenty-eight loss at Stanford, and I'm telling you, this is a family in crisis.
Chip DarnellFourteen seasons, ninety-eight wins, ten bowl games. That's a lot of good Saturdays. Why fire him now?
Rex "Two-Point" GridleyLook, the defense gave up twenty-eight point one points a game, second worst in the ACC. But here's the part that gets me.
Rex "Two-Point" GridleyAthletic director Boo Corrigan said last October that he did not believe in firing coaches mid-year.
Chip DarnellSo he believed it for a year, and it ran out at three and four?
Rex "Two-Point" GridleyTen point three million dollars is what Doeren is owed, with three years left on the deal. That's the price of the belief.
Chip DarnellAnd Corrigan thanked him for always representing the university with pride. So the pride was fine?
Rex "Two-Point" GridleyPride was never the problem, it's the Stanford game. Todd Goebbel takes over as interim for the rest of the year.
Rex "Two-Point" GridleyElsewhere, BYU and UCF are tied thirty-one all in double overtime, and Boise State and Washington State are seven apiece with forty-six seconds left in the second quarter.
Rex "Two-Point" GridleyMiami beat Pitt fifty-two to twenty-three, and Indiana won it thirteen to six in overtime over Michigan.
Chip DarnellDoes the belief come back next October, or is that a one-year thing?
