Nebraska coaching search: Dave Doeren, NC State head coach, answers question on Huskers opening

Dave Doeren’s name has come up for Nebraska’s coaching search in the early reports, but he is trying to block out the noise.
The current head coach at North Carolina State, Doeren addressed questions about the vacancy in Lincoln on Monday. While the questions may have been expected, Doeren pointed to how early it is in the 2022 season and said his heart and head are focused on coaching the Wolfpack.
“Dude, it’s Week 3 of the season man,” said Doeren. “I’m so fired up to coach my team this week. I’m so excited about playing at home and coaching the Wolfpack. It’s not the first time name’s have been on lists, it is what it is… That’s where my head and my heart is.”
Of course, this doesn’t mean Doeren will never be interested or approached about the Nebraska job, but he’s certainly trying to block out the noise for now. Doeren has led NC State since 2013, going 66-49 overall in his time with the Wolfpack.
“I can’t wait to get ready for this game… that’s where my head and my heart is.”
