The previous night, Doeren's Wolfpack (7-5) beat rival North Carolina for the fifth straight year, and the program is headed to a bowl game for the 11th time in Doeren's 13 seasons.

Doeren, who turns 54 on signing day, has posted a 94-70 record with the Wolfpack and became the program's all-time winningest coach with a 2023 victory over Miami.

just now (175+ words) Coastal Carolina fired head coach Tim Beck on Sunday, ending his three-season tenure, according to On3's Pete Nakos. Beck finished 20-18 after taking over the Chanticleers ahead of the 2023 season, his first college head-coaching role. The move comes after Coastal Carolina closed the 2025 campaign with back-to-back blowout losses, falling 59-10 at James Madison on Saturday following a 51-7 home defeat to South Carolina. Coastal opened 6-3 but dropped three straight to end the regular season and was outscored 110-17 across its final two games. "Yeah, it's hard," Beck said postgame Saturday, lamenting missed tackles, coverage breakdowns, and formation wrinkles his defense had not previously seen. "It's a combination of things" they got us." Early optimism from his debut season, an 8-5 finish in 2023, faded after a 6-7 record in 2024 that ended with a Myrtle Beach Bowl loss. Beck hops back into the coaching carousel at the right…...

just now (386+ words) Arsenal defender Piero Hincapie escaped a red card for an elbow on Chelsea's Trevoh Chalobah after the video assistant referee decided the challenge wasn't worthy of sending the centre-back off. The two teams were involved in a feisty first-half at Stamford Bridge with referee Anthony Taylor showing six cards inside the first 45 minutes. Martin Zubimendi, Marc Cucurella, Cristhian Mosquera, Riccardo Calafiori and Hincapie received a yellow card while Moises Caicedo was sent off for a challenge on Mikel Merino. Three minutes after Caicedo was sent off, Hincapie was involved in an incident that prompted VAR to review the action. The former Bayer Leverkusen defender appeared to catch Chalobah in the face with his elbow while jumping to head the ball. Chalobah was in immense pain on the surface while Taylor booked Hincapie. The Chelsea defender was forced to play with…...
