Philip Rivers, former NFL quarterback interviewed for Bills head coaching job in January. He could then get an interview at the college level.
Via Pete Thamel of ESPN, Rivers is “should be in the mix» for the head coaching position at NC State.
Rivers played for the Wolfpack from 2000 to 2003, before becoming the fourth overall pick in the 2004 NFL Draft. He played for the Chargers from 2004 to 2019. Rivers spent 2020 with the Colts before retiring. He returned late last year to start three games for the Colts, after Indianapolis lost starter Daniel Jones to a torn Achilles tendon.
Rivers has coached high school football at Alabama since 2021. His son, Gunner, has committed to play at NC State in 2027.
The position became open on Saturday. Dave Doeren, who spent 14 seasons at NC State, was fired following Friday night’s loss to Stanford.
