Dave Doeren on George McDonald: ‘He probably said some things he wishes he didn’t say’

PINEHURST, N.C. – North Carolina State head coach Dave Doeren said he’s sure George McDonald regrets some things he said after being replaced as Syracuse’s offensive coordinator.

“I’m obviously aware of it,” Doeren said. “He went there to call plays. It didn’t work out … He’s coaching receivers at N.C. State. He’s not at Syracuse.”

Doeren was one of the first coaches to speak at Atlantic Coast Conference Media Day on Tuesday and it only took three questions for him to be asked about McDonald — his new wide receivers coach — and how he publicly disagreed with SU head coach Scott Shafer regarding his demotion to wide receivers coach.
