Dave Doeren will be back at NC State next season, we know that much by now. Doeren turned down an offer from Tennessee earlier Thursday, and since then State has announced that Doeren has been given a new contract. The new deal, per various reports, is for five years and will bump Doeren’s annual salary from around $2.2 million to $3 million. That does not include incentives.
NC State’s Board of Trustees will make Doeren’s new deal official on Friday morning.
Tennessee was offering a higher base salary, but there’s no telling what financial incentives (if any) were involved with that offer.
