Then the guys talk about potential retread power-five coaches like Bret Bielema, Jim McElwain and Kevin Sumlin before chatting about potential power-five coaches Whitman could steal, including Dave Clawson (Wake Forest), Justin Wilcox (Cal) and Dave Doeren (NC State) before ending with some fan fantasy possibilities.
