NC State’s Dave Doeren not on Nebraska’s Short List for Next Head Coach

A big question looming in the college football world is who will be the Nebraska football coach next season, after Scott Frost was fired a few weeks back. When people begin to throw out possible candidates, NC State head coach Dave Doeren was a popular name pundits threw out. Joe Giglio and Joe Ovies tossed around what Doeren might do if he was seriously considered.

NC State fans can breathe a little easier though, because according to Bruce Feldman of The Athletic, Nebraska’s short list is made up of Lance Leipold (Kansas HC), Bill O’Brien (Alabama OC) and Matt Campbell (Iowa State HC).

Doeren signed a contract extension in February that would have him be the Wolfpack Head Coach through the 2026 season, paying him $5 million a season. His salary prior to the new contract paid him $3.5 million annually.
