Drew Brees Speaks on Saints Coaching Search and the Possibility of Having Future Role With the Team (2 Viewers)

[St. Geezy]

Any other former player besides Jerry West have any success in the front office our their sport? He’s all I can think of

I’ve always thought John Elway going back to the Broncos as a GM and getting them another Super Bowl win is one of the not talked about enough yet really cool stories in NFL history.

Would be awesome to see if Brees could pull something like that off someday.

John Elway and Ozzie Newsome

Problem with Brees in any position like that... He's too nice and tries too hard not to step on anyone's toes.

You think that? People said the same about Deion too when he was named HC. Deion said hold my beer. Brees would do the same.

I think now that Tom Brady is doing his thing as a minority owner with the Raiders, Drew will want to get involved in some capacity. I hope it's with the Saints and not the Broncos or anywhere else. I like that he loves our city and feels like he's still part of it. I think he would be a great GM one day.

Green Bay LOVED their QB - Bart Starr the way NOLA loves Drew. Loved him so much, they wanted him to be their HC. FWIW, Drew may or may not be successful in a new role with the team, but for now I'll just leave this here:

The Bounty rolls in the background are hilarious and intentional.

Dang I missed that. Best time it comes up, I'll pay more attention.

Think harder.

Dang, seeing this, it’s almost as if there’s historical precedent of it being very difficult for teams to remain good for awhile after losing a HOF coach and QB.

Crazy!

But Geezy they still had their quarterback! He was… just doing a different job with significantly harder demands!

Ozzie Newsome jumps immediately to mind.
