Consistency and continuity have been a hallmark for Wolfpack Football under head coach Dave Doeren. The 2024 season will be no different, as NC State boasts a 100% retention rate on its coaching staff from last season.
Â
All 10 assistant coaches, as well as veteran director of strength and conditioning Dantonio Burnette, have signed contract extensions in the off-season. In addition, quarterbacks coach Kurt Roper has added the title of pass game coordinator and OL coach Garret Tujague will is now the run game coordinator. Offensive coordinator Robert Anae will continue to call plays on offense.
Â
"One of the strengths of our program has been continuity," said Doeren, whose 12th Wolfpack squad begins spring practice on Feb. 27. "Players want to get what they signed up for and we've been able to be different in that space. In what is an unstable profession, we've been a model of stability.
Â
"I really enjoy working with this group of coaches and Sara and I are excited and thankful that they all want to continue to be a part of what we're building together."
Â
The Wolfpack coaching staff is one of the most experienced in the nation, boasting 340 collective years of coaching experience between Doeren and his coaching staff.
