Former NFL quarterback Philip Rivers is finalizing an agreement to become the next head football coach at North Carolina State University, according to a report from Mike Florio of ProFootball Talk on NBC Sports.
The deal would mark Rivers' transition from a 17-year professional playing career to a collegiate head coaching role. Rivers, who played for the San Diego/Los Angeles Chargers and Indianapolis Colts, has been connected to coaching opportunities since his retirement following the 2020 season.
NC State has been searching for a new leader for its football program. The university and Rivers' representatives are reportedly working through the final details of the contract.
