This week in NC State talk

The shows spent the week on NC State's coaching search after firing Dave Doeren mid-season. Talk keeps circling back to Philip Rivers as a candidate, with some hosts wondering if a GM role might fit him better than head coach, while others debate whether the job appeals to high-profile names. The conversation also touched on what kind of coach makes sense, whether a program-builder type or someone with bigger-name recognition.
