Friday night, Dave Doeren was busy leading Northern Illinois to its second consecutive Mid-American Conference championship.

Sunday afternoon, he was being introduced to the media in Raleigh, N.C., as North Carolina State’s new coach. Doeren takes over for Tom O’Brien, who was fired last week after going 40-35 in six years as the Atlantic Coast Conference school.

At his introductory news conference, Doeren said he had a conversation with his agent after he got off the field after the Huskies’ 44-37 win over Kent State in Detroit, and was asked which schools he would like to have discussions with.
