North Carolina State University has interviewed a former star quarterback for its head football coaching vacancy, according to a report by USA Today. The candidate is not the high-profile former player many speculated would be considered, the report said.
Reporters Matthew Glenesk and Austin Curtright reported Wednesday that the school has spoken with the unnamed former quarterback as part of its search to replace Dave Doeren. The identity of the candidate was not disclosed, but the report indicated it is not the most obvious former NC State quarterback.
The Wolfpack are seeking a new head coach after Doeren's departure. The program has a history of producing notable quarterbacks, including Philip Rivers and Russell Wilson, though neither has been linked to the coaching role.
