How Texas A&M and NC State's Gator Bowl matchup will serve as a reunion for coaches Dave Doeren, Jimbo Fisher

FERNANDINA BEACH, Fla. -- If Dave Doeren could relive his coaching career, there's one thing he would have done.

When Doeren accepted the job to be North Carolina State's head coach, it meant he could not lead Northern Illinois in the Orange Bowl against Florida State and then-coach Jimbo Fisher.

"That was probably the one thing in my career, if I could do over again, I would have coached in that game," Doeren said.

Six years later, he'll have the opportunity to face Fisher in the postseason. On Monday, Doeren's Wolfpack will face Fisher and No.
