Drew Brees hired at Purdue as assistant coach

It's time to say goodbye to the golf course and hello to the gridiron once again for legendary quarterback Drew Brees. While he won't be throwing passes with 300-pound linemen in his face, Brees is ready to put his coaching hat on.

In a bit of a surprising move, it was announced that Brees has been hired by Purdue, his alma mater, as an interim assistant coach. This is awesome.

Drew Brees, the former NFL quarterback, is being hired as an interim assistant coach at Purdue, source tells @SINow.

He wanted to help during the coaching transition. He’ll assist team in prep for the Citrus Bowl and coach in the game. He can also recruit via an NCAA waiver.

Brees was a stud at Purdue before going on to break several records in the NFL. With the coaching transition for the Boilermakers, the school decided to bring back an all-time great. This is quite the move.
