NC State: Expectations, Coaching, and the Ten-Win Ceiling

In this episode of Bleav in UNC, the guys digs deep into NC State Wolfpack football. The crew kicks things off with some life updates before getting into the meat of the conversation: head coach Dave Doeren's impressive run of 11 winning seasons in 14 years and what that level of consistency really means for the program.

From there, the guys break down NC State's 2025 schedule game by game, debating which matchups have the most impact on the season. One game keeps coming up as the pivotal moment — Florida State. The crew discusses why that late-season matchup has historically been the thing standing between NC State and a ten-win season, and whether this is finally the year Doeren gets over the hump. When it comes to the win total over/under, Block and JD land on nine wins while Ronnie takes eight — but all three go over.

The conversation gets especially interesting when the guys tackle fan expectations in the Triangle. Is Doeren on the hot seat after 14 years? Should NC State fans be satisfied with consistent eight-to-nine win seasons in the modern NIL era? It's a candid, entertaining debate that any ACC football fan will appreciate.

The episode wraps with a preview of next week's show, where the crew shifts from the Triangle to the Triad to break down the Wake Forest Demon Deacons, who are coming off a nine-win season of their own.
