NC State Coach Dave Doeren Talks Raleigh, Caniacs, Championships & CJ Bailey | ACC KickoffNC State head coach Dave Doeren joins David Glenn at ACC Kickoff in Charlotte to reflect on his 14th season leading the Wolfpack, his family's deep ties to Raleigh, and why North Carolina has become home. Doeren discusses becoming a Hurricanes fan, his respect for Rod Brind'Amour's leadership, and parallels between hockey and football as team sports. Doeren reiterates his goal of bringing a championship to NC State, notes the program's recent success, and analyzes how Indiana quickly rose to win big under Curt Sigler in an era where coaches can remake rosters through transfers. Doeren explains the relational and transactional realities of retaining quarterback C.J. Bailey, shares rivalry notes against UNC, praises retiring baseball coach Elliott Avent and colleague Ruffin McNeill, and addresses schedule uncertainty amid widespread roster turnover.00:00 Coach Doeren Intro00:28 Raleigh Feels Like Home01:33 Becoming Caniacs03:00 Football vs Hockey Teamwork04:23 Chasing NC State Title05:34 Indiana Turnaround Lessons08:04 NIL and Keeping CJ09:11 Quick Hitters and Rivals10:36 Schedule in New Era12:00 Closing Thanks and NetworkWelcome to the North Carolina Sports Network!Your home for all things sports in the Bold North State — from the NFL, NBA, NHL, MLS, PGA TOUR, and NASCAR to the heart of ACC and college athletics.🎥 Stories. 🎙️ Podcasts. 📊 Analysis.Covering the legends, the rising stars, and everything in between.👇 Subscribe & follow:🌐 ncsportsnetwork.com🎧 Podcasts: Spotify, Apple & more📲 @TheNCSportsNet on all platforms#NCsports #BoldNorthState
