The 41-year-old Doeren has packed a lifetime’s worth of coaching experience into just 19 years. He comes to NC State after leading the program at Northern Illinois to its most successful two years in program history. His first Husky squad won the school’s first Mid-American Conference Championship since 1983 and tied the school record with 11 wins.
His second version repeated as league champions and set a new school record by posting 12 victories for the season and earning a trip to the Orange Bowl – the first BCS berth ever for a MAC school. Doeren was a finalist for several national coach of the year awards following the 2012 campaign.
Drawings for door prizes will be held. The RSC expects a capacity crowd and local media representatives in attendance.
