Pete Carmichael, Jr.
Quarterbacks/Passing Game
Pete Carmichael, Jr. enters his third season with the Saints as quarterbacks coach/passing game, a stretch where New Orleans has had the most prolific passing attack in club history and featured one of the top-ranked offenses in the NFL. Carmichael’s duties include tutoring the quarterbacks and on a weekly basis assisting in the planning and preparation of the team’s passing game.
Carmichael works closely with QB Drew Brees, who since 2006 has shattered the majority of the franchise’s single-season records. Last season Brees led the NFL with 440 completions and 652 attempts and finished third with 4,423 yards – all club records. He also set team records with a completion percentage of 67.5 and 28 touchdown passes. In 2006, under Carmichael’s tutelage Brees had an NFL-high 4,418 yards as the Saints featured the league’s No. 1-ranked passing attack.
Carmichael and Brees had spent the previous four seasons in game-planning sessions when both were with the San Diego Chargers, with Carmichael serving as assistant wide receivers coach/quality control.
While tutoring quarterbacks, Carmichael brings the added perspective of having a wide range of coaching experiences, including working with nearly every position group on offense during his career. With the Chargers, he assisted wide receivers coach James Lofton for an offense that ranked 10th in the NFL in 2004 and 2005. Carmichael joined the Chargers in 2002 and served as offensive assistant/quality control until being promoted.
In 2001, Carmichael was quality control coach for the Washington Commanders, and in 2000, he was the tight ends and offensive assistant coach for the Cleveland Browns. From 1995-99, Carmichael was the quarterbacks coach at Louisiana Tech, and during his tenure the Bulldogs’ QBs broke almost every passing record at the school. He began his coaching career as the assistant offensive line coach at the University of New Hampshire in 1994, with the Wildcats winning the Yankee Conference championship.
Born Oct. 6, 1971 in Framingham, Mass., Carmichael attended Medway (Mass.) HS where he played football and baseball. He went on to a collegiate playing career in baseball and was a four-year letterman at Boston College. As a senior, he was a team captain and Most Valuable Player. Carmichael graduated with a degree in mathematics in 1994.
Carmichael and his wife, Tina, have sons, Peter (9) and John (3), and daughter Allison (7).
