Coaches
Three universities hired new coaches for the 2013 football season. NC State hired Dave Doeren from Northern Illinois after he led the Huskies to back-to-back MAC championships.[ 5] With this hire, Doeren was made the second highest paid coach in the ACC (behind Florida State's Jimbo Fisher) and the 27th highest paid coach in the country.[ 6] Boston College also changed coaches, hiring Steve Addazio from Temple . Addazio had only been a head coach for 2 years, however, Boston College athletic director Brad Bates stated that he has had Addazio on his short list of coaches for years.[ 7] Syracuse promoted their defensive coordinator, Scott Shafer , of the previous 4 years to head coach after their previous head coach, Doug Marrone , left for a job coaching the Buffalo Bills of the NFL .[ 8] They will join Paul Chryst of Pittsburgh (due to conference realignment) as new coaches in the ACC.
