College football 2026 coaching carousal: Clemson rival fires coach
The ACC has its first casualty of the 2026 college football coaching cycle, and it's the head coach of a longtime Clemson Tigers rival. NC State fired coach Dave Doeren after 14 seasons Saturday, less than 24 hours after the Wolfpack fell in a 31-28 loss at Stanford on Friday. NC State dropped to 3-4 overall and 1-4 in ACC play following the loss to the Cardinal. Running backs coach and special teams coordinator Todd Goebbel was named interim coach. Doeren had been the ACC's second-longest tenured head coach behind Clemson 's Dabo Swinney. He exits NC State with a career win-loss record of 98-74, including 52-57 in conference play. Only two of Doeren's 98 career victories in Raleigh came against Clemson, and both were in a span of three years. The Wolfpack defeated the Tigers, 27-21, on Sept. 25, 2001 at Carter-Finley Stadium, a victory that snapped an eight-game Tigers winning streak in the Textile Bowl rivalry. Doeren's second win over Clemson, a 24-17 win on Oct. 28, 2023, in Raleigh came two days before Swinney went viral for his blistering attack of a fan ("Tyler from Spartanburg") on his weekly radio show. The Tigers' loss to NC State

The Clemson Tigers are not going to fix it, even if their offense is broken. Chad Morris has been under fire of late due in large part to Tait Reynolds' stagnation as a true freshman starting quarterback. So of course, he is going to stay up in the booth.
