ACC SQUAD - NC State has FIRED Dave Doeren | How this impacts Louisville

NC State football faces a crossroads as boosters push for Philip Rivers to replace Dave Doeren, raising questions about the risks of prioritizing big names over proven coaching experience. Should the Wolfpack emulate nearby programs’ missteps, or focus on hiring a winner who can drive long-term success in the ACC? The conversation also explores North Carolina Tar Heels’ shocking collapse against Syracuse and dissects the impact of blown leads on ACC standings. Key games highlighted include SMU vs. Syracuse, with concerns about SMU’s secondary facing a potent passing attack, and the looming threat Virginia could pose for Wake Forest thanks to a disruptive run game. Can legacy hires and flashy choices deliver wins, or will fundamentals prevail as ACC teams chase relevance in a chaotic conference?   **Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!** **KALSHI** For a limited time, Download Kalshi and use code **Locked On** to get $25 when you trade $25. Kalshi.
