Former Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson interviews for NC State head coaching job

The long-time Seahawks quarterback’s stay at the CBS desk could be short-lived.

Former Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson interviews for NC State head coaching job

Former Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson has interviewed for the head coaching position at North Carolina State, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter. This development follows the report that another former NC State quarterback, Philip Rivers, is also being considered for the opening. Wilson played three seasons for the Wolfpack and led them to a victory in the Champs Sports Bowl.

With his NFL experience as a quarterback, Wilson could be an unconventional yet appealing candidate for the head coaching job. In contrast, Rivers, who has coaching experience at the high school level, may have an edge in that regard. However, he is also connected to the current team through his son, who is committed to play for NC State.

Both Wilson and Rivers are notable figures in the football world, making them intriguing candidates for the head coaching vacancy at NC State.
