Drew Brees returned to Purdue earlier this month to serve as an interim assistant coach for his alma mater’s upcoming Cheez-It Citrus Bowl game against LSU. The move has had many wondering if the former NFL quarterback is considering making a full-time career shift.
However, for the second time since his hire, Brees maintained that his stint as a coach will only last a single game.
“I’m just doing this because I love my university and the opportunity to coach young men like Austin and our team and to just get this program through the whole game,” Brees said Saturday, per Matt Murschel of the Orlando Sentinel.
