Drew Brees Named Assistant Coach by Purdue for Citrus Bowl

Former NFL quarterback and Purdue alum Drew Brees is being hired by the school as an assistant coach to help the team for the Cheez-It Citrus Bowl, it announced on Thursday.

Brees wanted to help during the Boilermakers’ transition to newly hired Ryan Walters’s head coaching regime. The 13-time Pro Bowler will help in preparing the team for its bowl game matchup against LSU as well as a coach. He will also be able to recruit thanks to an NCAA waiver.

“I am extremely excited to work with our team over the next few weeks as we prepare for the Citrus Bowl,” Brees said in a release from the school. “I see it not only as an opportunity to coach and mentor this group of young men, but represent all the former Purdue players that care so much about our program. This is also preparation for the future of Purdue Football with new head coach Ryan Walters. I had a great conversation with Coach Walters last night, and love the energy, passion and detail he will bring to our program. The future is bright, and there is no better time to be a Boilermaker!”

Brees' charisma, intelligence and dedication would be a great fit for college football if he ever wants to pursue becoming a head coach.

We could use an offensive coordinator when Payton returns.

There a very few people I'd run through a wall for. Drew Brees, DeMario Davis and my mother top the list.
If the Colts can pull Jeff Saturday from a high school and make him head coach I don't see why the Saints couldn't do the same for Drew Brees.

I'm not sure. It's at SaintsBro's house. I'm hoping it's nothing more than sheet rock.

Yeah, I’ve got wood paneling in my man cave basement. That’s tough to run through. Sheet rock is like…
