Don't need one
Wish the Pack nothing but luck with Rivers. He does make sense for the Pack but going from HS to P4 is a mighty big jump. Can’t think of any examples where that worked out but Rivers may have the chops to do it.
It hasn't happened before because you didn't buy teams before....
There it is!

Doeren actually did a very good job at State. He got about all he could out of his teams, for the resources that he had available.

Doeren has horrifically mismanaged the resources given to him since the NIL/rev share era started. Could State give him more? Sure....but would be like trusting a homeless person not buy booze with a handout.
He completely abandoned allocating funds to the defensive side of the ball which expedited Gibson's departure. Then what was given to CJ Bailey at the expense of other skill players leaving was simply poor judgement. Dave is a good man but incredibly stubborn. People all around him told him what he was doing would become a recipe for disaster. ....and they were right.

No, he didn't do a very good job, when you include actual coaching. Much like O'Brien, Dave ran a clean program and got kids in the NFL. And they beat you guys on the regular, but all that's no longer enough. Dave was losing bowls because his star players bailed and he couldn't $top 'em. I no longer thought more money would help him. His time has passed.
A most interesting time we're in.
eta: Aaaand, Doeren's team and staff just got embarrassed by Duke.
