I don't know too much about him, but know they looked pretty good last night. I know he's only lost like 4 games at NIU, but has he beaten any bigtime teams?
Doeren's an outstanding hire and was my dark-horse favorite for the UT job, in spite of his limited HC experience. I think he'll do a super job at NC State and get snapped up by a big-name program within 5 years. Dave Doeren Profile - Northern Illinois Official Athletic Site
He has much more room to succeed there than he does at, say, Purdue. Very well could be at a major program within the next few years, as the last poster said.
