Dave Doeren, NC State open spring hoping to build off last season

Dave Doeren is about to enter his sixth season at NC State, and though his team has plenty to prove this spring, the questions about Doeren should finally stop.

Doeren has been on a wild ride between last offseason and this one. A year ago, he faced questions about his job security after a disappointing 7-6 season in 2016. But after the Wolfpack went 9-4 and finished in the Top 25 in 2017, Doeren went from the hot seat to hot commodity.

Tennessee came after him hard to replace Butch Jones. Doeren said the discussions between the two sides were serious, but ultimately he decided it best to stay at NC State.
