Purdue hired Drew Brees as an interim assistant coach to help the team in its upcoming Cheez-It Citrus Bowl against LSU.
However, the former NFL quarterback and Purdue alum made it clear that his dive into the coaching world is only temporary. Brees told WWL radio in New Orleans that his coaching gig is not permanent and that he has no interest in being a coach in the future.
In addition to coaching, Brees will also be able to recruit due to a NCAA waiver.
Adam Kuffner, Purdue’s director of communications, said on Thursday that the role of the 13-time Pro Bowler was very straightforward.
