Drew Brees as QB coach.
- Thread starter Tommaker
- Start date
It's been reported that Brees is going to be the QB coach for our bowl game this year.
Not sure if that's a good or bad thing as it kinda signals that AOC might not be playing...

Reported. Alan Karpick just posted about it on TOS...
Well, if it ends up being true, I might watch the bowl game to see Drew and how the young QBs look (if we still have Alaimo and/or Allen still on our roster), because let's be honest this is going to be just like Auburn.
I said for weeks that I don't think AOC and Jones will play. This was before all the things with Brohm. This game doesn't really help either one of them as far as the draft. It is going to be combines and team meetings now that will help or hurt their draft stock.

And Peyton Manning can be scout team qb assistant coach? Let's be realistic here
I am thinking Media Relations for Jimmy.
Why do a lot of people think players, who were really good players , will be a good coach and want to coach
Happened to catch that clip earlier this week. "I bet you won't do it again."
Well how’s he gonna recruit all the German four and five stars then ?
Arrgh! Good point. I'm thinking he can do the recruiting there pretty quickly.
I think Drew would be a fine coach and a HUGE recruiting draw. But why would he uproot his family and move to West Lafayette to endure the grind of being an assistant college football coach? The guy doesn’t have to work another day in his life.
You know what ? He’s gonna be on tour there anyway, he can do his in home visits then!Arrgh! Good point. I'm thinking he can do the recruiting there pretty quickly.
“Hey Hoff- there’s a big nasty offensive tackle named Rolf Becker in Bremerhaven…can u swing by and see him before your show tomorrow ?”
I know it’s just for the bowl game as of right now but does coach Walter ask Drew to come on board to be the QB coach going forward or no?

We don't, really. I was just going with the former-QB-as-coaching-staff riff started by OP. You know. For fun. Though I guess Brees as qb coach is a plausible idea.
Doesn’t hurt to ask. What’s the worst he can say…no? Guarantee he’d bring in better QB recruits than the Brohms
Allen and Aliamo were 4 stars and Browne looks really underrated.
I doubt Brees wants to live in West Lafayette, but you never know. There are rumors out there that he might coach with Payton if Payton takes another job in the NFL which makes more sense, although obviously I would rather him be the offensive cordinator of Purdue, but not sure he would want that, but you never know...woth asking.
Not saying those are bad recruits but those guys haven’t seen the field yet. Brohm has been playing a walk-on and 3 stars ever since he got here 6yrs ago.
He bought a house last year in West Lafayette
Wow, I didnt know that, that changes things for me.
Like I said it doesn’t hurt to ask. I’m not on the bandwagon of hiring a bunch of former Purdue greats to fill the staff just because they played at Purdue but if a guy like Brees or Kerrigan may be interested why not? This team needs more star power and I’m sure they could pull in some good ones.
Just him on our sideline is a huge plus. Possibly a good sign for us...I hope.
Could be testing the waters to see how it goes. I think he did that broadcast gig and figured out pretty quickly it wasn't for him. This way, he likes what he does, maybe signs up for a year as the QB coach, maybe 2 years. What a freaking great opportunity for the QB's to learn from the Master.
