North Carolina State University is working to finalize the hiring of former NFL quarterback Philip Rivers as the Wolfpack's new head football coach, according to a report from USA Today Sports on Sunday.
The move would bring the 17-year NFL veteran back to his alma mater, where he played from 2000 to 2003 before being drafted fourth overall by the New York Giants in 2004. Rivers spent the majority of his professional career with the San Diego/Los Angeles Chargers and finished with the Indianapolis Colts.
Reporters Craig Meyer, Austin Curtright, and John Brice of the USA Today Network broke the story, indicating the program is in advanced stages of securing Rivers for the position.
