The math is pretty easy
3000mi
4 days
750 mi/day
10hrs per day at 75mph average
12hrs per day at 60mph average
Assuming the 3 of you take turns driving, yes it is doable. Long, hard drive, but doable.

As j62 stated, it's doable. Go to freetrip.com for milage, time and hotels. Enter the trip in segments since you want to use I-40 and I-81.
Irvine-Knoxville, Knoxville-Scranton,PA, Scranton-Stamford
If we hadn't taken a side trip on the way, we could have driven Woodstock,VA (I-81) to San Diego in four days last September. You would have about an additional five hours to Stamford.

It's about 2930 miles if you take I-40/81:
Day 1: Irvine, CA to Albuquerque, NM. 784 miles.
Day 2: ABQ to perhaps Russellville, AR (before Little Rock). 806 miles.
Day 3: Russellville to Wyethville, VA (lots of motels there, but other SW VA towns are okay). 775 miles.
Day 4: 569 miles to Stamford.
If you take I-40/44/70/71/80, it's about 100 miles shorter.
Day 1: same 784 miles to Albuquerque.
Day 2: ABQ to Springfield, MO. 831 miles.
Day 3: Springfield to Columbus, OH. 635 miles.
Day 4: 581 miles to Stamford.
Don't forget that you lose 3 hours driving from Pacific Time to Eastern Time.
