OT: Doreen (N. Ill.) to coach NC State
Reported that Dave Doreen is leaving Northern Illinois to take over as head coach at North Carolina State. He continued a winning program in the MAC, had two straight championship seasons, and just spoiled Kent St’s chance at a BCS berth. He has brought Jordan Lynch along very well, interested what he could do with a better program.
Should be a good hire for them, but here is a primarily Great Lakes area coach now headed to ACC. Wonder how much effect it will have on Midwest area talent. His primary scouting area of familiarity is here.

I really thought he would end up at Purdue.

As did I. I always thought Purdue was a 2-horse race, Doreen and Butch Jones.
Looks like they got Jones'ed. /s

It's hilarious that N Illinois is going to the Orange Bowl, and Doeren won't be there to coach them, considering it is very likely that NC State probably won't be making any BCS bowls.

Northern Illinois is a better program than NC State.
