"For the strength of the Pack is the Wolf, and the strength of the wolf is the pack."
When Dave Doeren walked into the Murphy Football Center at NC State University in December of 2012, he saw those words on the wall outside the Wolfpack lockerroom. He later compacted that quote into what is his blueprint for NC State football: 1Pack1Goal.
His goal is to make the Wolfpack a championship football team. Not just win an ACC title, but a NCAA title!
He's led the Wolfpack to 4 straight bowl appearances – including wins in the St. Petersburg, Independence and Sun Bowls. The Wolfpack were 9-4 this past season … the most wins in his tenure at NC State. The Wolfpack were ranked No. 23 in the final AP poll and Dave's latest recruiting class is strong, ranking in the Top 25 by most recruiting "experts."
Outside of coaching young people, Doeren believes strongly in two of The Alliance's 8 Core Values: SERVICE and COMMUNITY!
Coach knows a championship mindset involves service.
He reminds the young men under his leadership of the importance of team before self. He has also built a program that prides itself in community service. Since he was named head coach, members of his teams have turned in well over 5,000 collective hours of community service. His team has won the NC State Athletics Community Service Award multiple times.
In his career, Dave served as graduate assistant at Southern Cal, coached at Montana, Kansas, Wisconsin, and was 23-4 in two seasons at Northern Illinois – including a 12-1 season in 2012 when he coached the Huskies to a MAC title and an Orange Bowl appearance before coming to Raleigh, N.C.
Off the field, Dave, 46, is the proud father of three sons – Jacob, Luke and Connor -- and husband to his wife Sara, who he met while coaching at Drake University.
