Dave Doeren: “I’m Not Leaving”

NC State Head Coach Dave Doeren’s name had been thrown around as a possibility for the Michigan State and Mississippi State openings, but it looks like the man himself has spoken.

Tom Livolsi, who is the founder of Savage Wolves, which is connected with NC State’s NIL collective, just took to Twitter and posted a text message between him and Doeren himself.

Let’s put a stop with the rumor mill. From the source. Moving on.. best recruiting class we’ve had in as long as I can remember coming in.. coming offa potential 10-3 “rebuilding” year.. best DC in all of football. We are just hitting our stride. pic.twitter.com/WQ8wp2coSA

While Livolsi blurred out his text, if you zoom in, you can read every word.

“Boy, your name is being tossed out a lot in these coaching searches lol. Don’t even want to think of it, but totally understand if you did. You earned it. Just do me a favor buddy. Because we have a lot of balls in the air and news like that could be catastrophic. I would be willing to sign an NDA or something like that and I swear on my children, I would never breathe a word of it. But the key to any business is crisis response. L O L.”

But, all you need to see is Doeren’s response.

“I’m not leaving.”
