CBS Sports NFL analyst and diehard Wolfpack fan Will Brinson joins The Pack Insiders to talk Dave Doeren’s future, the Philip Rivers coaching buzz and what NC State fans really want from their program.
We dive into the hypothetical that’s been discussed around the fanbase on Rivers interest in coaching at NC State. Would he be the right fit to lead the Wolfpack? We discuss his football mind, personality, and potential to energize fans and donors, and why any hypothetical move starts with resolving Doeren’s future.
We also dig into the Wolfpack fanbase: the loyalty, the frustration, the hunger for a breakthrough and why big personalities have always connected in Raleigh. Plus, Brinson shares his path to CBS Sports, we revisit wild NC State coaching search stories and reflect on Chuck Amato’s legacy.
