Brian Brohm details work of Drew Brees on Purdue's coaching staff for Citrus Bowl
Brian Brohm is set to lead Purdue as the interim head coach for the 2023 Cheez-It Citrus Bowl against No. 17 LSU. He will have a lot to work on as the temporary head coach, but one addition he has been excited about is the support of interim assistant coach and former Boilermakers quarterback Drew Brees.
On Sunday, Brohm talked about the addition and impact of Brees as an assistant to this talented Boilermakers team:
“Drew has been fantastic. He has come in with a lot of energy. He has been working with the offense, with the quarterback room. He has been in with those guys every single day. He has been with us, breaking down film, having suggestions on plays on the offense, on ways about doing things.
“Really the best thing I think that he’s brought is his mindset — the way that he attacks the game each and every week, the way that he goes out and tries to get greatness. To be able to be by Austin Burton, to be by Mike Alaimo, to be by our quarterbacks, to feed them that information, those little tips of the trade, has been phenomenal. It has been really good.
“I know I have been taking notes every single day on his thoughts and his process. I have had my guys writing down every single drill that he has come up with that could help us all get better, because, obviously, he is a Hall of Fame quarterback. He has done it at a high level. He has a lot of great input.”
Brees joined the team on Dec. 15 eight days after Jeff Brohm left as head coach for the same position at Louisville.
