North Carolina State University has reportedly interviewed former NFL quarterback and current broadcaster Russell Wilson for its vacant head football coaching position, according to a report from SB Nation on Wednesday.

Wilson, who currently works as an analyst for CBS Sports' "The NFL Today," has no prior coaching experience at the college or professional level. The 37-year-old Super Bowl winner played 12 seasons in the NFL, most notably with the Seattle Seahawks and Denver Broncos.

NC State is searching for a replacement after Dave Doeren's departure. The program has also been linked to other candidates with college coaching backgrounds.
