NC State fired longtime head coach Dave Doeren, the team announced Saturday.
Doeren's dismissal follows Friday's 31-28 loss to Stanford, which dropped the Wolfpack to 3-4 this season.
"I want to thank Coach Doeren for his service and contributions to NC State and for always representing the university with pride," athletic director Boo Corrigan said in a statement. "I appreciate his leadership during his 14-year tenure and the passion he brought to this role.
NC State still owes Doeren nearly $10.3 million, as he had three years remaining on his deal, according to ESPN's Pete Thamel.
The 54-year-old was in his 14th season with the program.
Running backs coach and special teams coordinator Todd Goebbel will serve as NC State's interim head coach for the remainder of the season.
Doeren departs NC State as the program's all-time winningest head coach after posting a 98-74 record. The Wolfpack went 4-6 in 10 bowl games under Doeren.
