Mike Elko leaves Duke, NC State crushes UNC and Panthers fire Frank Reich

"WRAL Triangle and Two" hosts Mark Bergin and Louis Fernandez discuss Mike Elko leaving Duke to become the head coach of Texas A&M.

Both Bergin and Fernandez share where Duke football goes from here and what the future holds for quarterback Riley Leonard.

The guys also discuss NC State's blowout win against North Carolina. Dave Doeren's team has won six of its last seven games while Mack Brown's Tar Heels have lost four of their last six.

Bergin mentions how the Tar Heels got dominated in time of possession in three of their four losses. He also asks whether North Carolina should retain defensive coordinator Gene Chizik.

Also, it's unclear whether quarterback Drake Maye and receiver Tez Walker will play in the team's bowl game.

The guys also discuss which is more likely: Mack Brown retiring from North Carolina or Dave Doeren leaving NC State for another program.

Last, the guys discuss the Carolina Panthers firing head coach Frank Reich. It's unclear what general manager Scott Fitterer's future holds.

Whoever the Panthers hire, the new coach will need to get Bryce Young back on track. Bergin mentions the possibility of trying to target Detroit Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson.
