North Carolina State University has finalized an agreement to make former NFL quarterback Philip Rivers the program's new head football coach, according to reports on November 8, 2026.
Rivers, who played 17 seasons in the NFL primarily with the Los Angeles Chargers and Indianapolis Colts, transitions to the college ranks after a brief stint as a high school coach in Alabama.
The hiring marks a significant move for the Wolfpack as they aim to revitalize their football program under a well-known former professional player.
