Drake was with the Arizona Cardinals under Bruce Arians in 2013 to 2017.
That's awful. Prayers to all those grieving. RIP Coach Drake
Very sad news, RIP coach Drake
Rest in peace Coach Drake. Such a shame. Prayers to his family, friends and team. Just goes to show, you never know when your time is done here on earth. Enjoy every minute with family and friends and don't be afraid to say ' I love you' ! Peace and love to all.

It’s clear that the man was loved by the entire NFL. It is touching to see the outpouring of emotions coming from so many players and coaches from around the League.
I’ve seen and read quite a few interviews with him. He seemed like such a great coach and a great man.

Yes, apparently he was. Bruce Arians said something about talking to him before the game.
I can only imagine how emotionally difficult it must be for everyone in the Steelers organization right now, especially coach Tomlin. I’m sure all he wants to do is mourn, but he still has to make some sort of decision on what to do.
I have no idea if they’re in a position to promote someone from within or if they have to look outside the organization. I’d hate to be having to think in those terms at a time like this.
I’d assume they have to assigne his duties to someone who knows the offense. At least for the time being.
