Amid staff changes on the defensive side, NC State is also making a change at offensive coordinator. James Henderson of Inside Pack Sports reported Saturday night that co-offensive coordinator Des Kitchings will not be back in 2020.
Kitchings was given the play-calling duties along with George McDonald prior to the 2019 season. A lot of what happened this past year couldn’t be pinned on those guys, but at the same time they definitely had their issues in the new role, and it just made everything more difficult.
Kitchings was actually hired by Tom O’Brien late in his tenure and had been on staff since then—he was one of the better recruiters that State had.
