Transition Underway
Todd Goebbel takes over as interim head coach at NC State following the midseason dismissal of Dave Doeren. Goebbel spent the past eight seasons on the staff, most recently as running backs coach and special teams coordinator, and has been with the program since 2019. The Wolfpack enter the next game at 3-4 overall and 1-3 in the Atlantic Coast Conference, with five regular-season contests remaining.
Staff Adjustments
Defensive coordinator DJ Eliot was also let go after the team allowed 31 points in a loss at Stanford. Assistant Charlton Warren assumes defensive playcalling duties, while special teams analyst Zac Roper steps into Goebbel's former role.
Focus on Accountability
Quarterback CJ Bailey and defensive tackle Isaiah Shirley described the shift as unexpected yet noted that the group has taken ownership of recent results and is shifting attention to upcoming games and the work ahead.
