I cannot wait to see him on the sidelines.” “Our players have the opportunity to learn from one of the greatest leaders in football history, a valuable experience that they will never forget. “When I first heard about Drew coming back to help coach our guys for the bowl game, I was hoping the rumors were true,” Walters said. The first meeting between Purdue and LSU now features a quarterback-turned-coach who was wildly popular in Louisiana. Four assistant coaches have already followed former Boilermakers coach Jeff Brohm to Louisviille.īrohm’s younger brother, Brian, will serve as interim head coach for the bowl game and co-defensive coordinator Mark Hagen will call the defensive signals against LSU (9-4). 2 Michigan beat Purdue 43-22 in the conference title game. But, as Jackson said, this is the league where anything can happen.Now, he’s moving back to campus to help short-handed Purdue (8-5) after a season that saw them win their first Big Ten West Division crown and play for their first conference crown since he graduated. I don’t see New Orleans saying, sorry Jameis, we’ve got Drew back.” And that’s another reason why I don’t think this happens because Drew has consistently been New Orleans or nowhere. Because he’s not going back to New Orleans. If Drew Brees were to return, Seattle is the only place that makes sense. “Let’s just entertain it for a second, there is this extra piece to it. While many would say the obvious answer is New Orleans, Jackson reiterated that’s not a possibility. So if he were to come back to the NFL, who would he play for?

You know how hard you have to push me to speak in absolutes?” I think this is the closest I’ve ever been to saying no, absolutely not, never when it comes to potential NFL news. “Tom Brady’s retirement lasted all of 47 seconds. “I never say never when it comes to the NFL,” Locked On Saints host Ross Jackson said.
