Will ex-LSU head coach Brian Kelly be a candidate for the NC State job?
Another Power Four football job opened up last week as NC State fired longtime head coach Dave Doeren. A midseason firing gives the Wolfpack a head start on its search. Could that start lead the Wolfpack to former LSU head coach Brian Kelly? There hasn't been much reporting on NC State's targets as the search is in its early days; however, if NC State wants a veteran head coach, Brian Kelly could make some sense. Kelly spent a long time at Notre Dame, meaning he's familiar with the ACC. Notre Dame had a scheduling agreement with the ACC and played as an ACC member in 2020. LSU fired Kelly in October of 2024 after the Tigers got off to a disappointing 5-3 start. LSU began that season with playoff hopes, but LSU fell well short of expectations. Kelly's LSU tenure got off to a hot start, winning the SEC West in 2022, but Kelly and Co. couldn't build on that momentum. NEW: Brian Kelly says the Maryland, Baylor and NC State openings are all “unique” when asked about the best job: "We’re talking about ACC, Big 12, and the Big Ten. From a conference standpoint, the Big Ten obviously has

NC State baseball won’t play series against UNC or Duke in 2027
The ACC’s stupid scheduling models come for every sport eventually. NC State baseball released its 2027 schedule on Thursday, and the Pack doesn’t have a weekend series against UNC or Duke. The Wolfpack and Tar Heels will play in a non-conference game—in Wilson—on April 20, because everything has gotten dumb to the point of absurdity.

How Charlton Warren is adapting to the NC State D-coordinator role
Sometimes you have to compartmentalize to make it through. Charlton Warren took over defensive play-calling duties this week after N.C. State fired DJ Eliot. Warren already served alongside Eliot as co-defensive coordinator and called plays last season, when Eliot was briefly away from the team . It’s been a rough week, he said. Warren, in his second year with N.C. State, described Eliot as a “really good friend” and former head coach Dave Doeren, who was also fired, as someone he admires. He doesn’t have time to dwell on their absences, though. The team has another game Saturday. Warren said he knows the scheme and he knows the players. It’s his job to now step into a bigger role and do his best for the players. “I’m trying to put them in every position to win games,” Warren said on Wednesday during a media availability. “I really haven’t had a lot of time to think about it. It’s, ‘Jump two feet in and go to work.’” Warren doesn’t necessarily think about the fact that any coach can lose their job at any time, he said. Two colleagues who were “in the trenches” with him the last two years are no
