At a recent press conference, NC State football head coach Dave Doeren emphasized the importance of fan support in creating an electric atmosphere at Carter-Finley Stadium.
Doeren, now in his 12th year, believes that when coaches, players, and fans unite, it results in one of the best gameday environments. He urged fans to bring energy at crucial moments, such as third downs or red zone defenses, while allowing the offense to communicate without distraction.

Doeren highlighted the need for fans to focus their criticism on the opposing team rather than the NC State players and coaches. He stressed that fan encouragement is key to the team’s success, asking supporters to back the players and coaches wholeheartedly.
Reflecting on recent successes, including the NC State basketball team’s remarkable nine-game winning streak leading to an ACC Tournament title and Final Four appearance, Doeren cited the example of Dwight Burns Sr., the father of basketball star DJ Burns.
