WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – Purdue Football will have a familiar face assisting the program during bowl preparations this month, as former Boilermaker quarterback Drew Brees will serve as an assistant coach, it was announced on Thursday, Dec. 15, by vice president and director of athletics Mike Bobinski.
Fresh off his exemplary 20-year NFL career (2001-20), Brees will relocate to West Lafayette during the coaching transition to lend his knowledge, acumen and experiences to the squad of current Boilers. Hired as a countable assistant coach per NCAA guidelines, Brees will have the ability to work on-field with student-athletes and participate in recruiting activities.
Purdue Football (8-5) won the Big Ten West Division title for the first time in program history this past season. With the trip to the Cheez-It Citrus Bowl (Monday, Jan. 2, vs. LSU), the Boilermakers are playing in the program’s 21st bowl game and fourth bowl in the past six seasons.

He seems like a genuinely good guy. I wish him the best in his coaching career.

Drew Brees and the Saints hate LSU.

Not all conflict since all the Saints fans now root for Buffalo or KC.

Would appear he loves his old school and is excited to coach in their bowl game.
Good luck Coach Brees

Heard Brees' involvement in coaching the Purdue-LSU bowl game was limited to just taking a knee during the national anthem.

This is good. Anything to draw to a game where too many are already ducking out. It's basically the Pro Bowl.
