Speculation has emerged regarding the future of the NC State Wolfpack football program, with former NFL quarterback Philip Rivers being mentioned as a potential candidate to succeed Dave Doeren as head coach.

Rivers, who retired from professional football after a 17-season career with the Indianapolis Colts and Los Angeles Chargers, has since served as a high school football coach in Alabama. His name has surfaced in discussions among fans and analysts as the Wolfpack evaluate their leadership options.

Doeren has led NC State since 2013, compiling a record of 87-65 overall. The program's recent performance has fueled debate about a possible change at the top.
