</p><p>Marcus Brady ’06 (Finance), the star quarterback of the last California State University, Northridge football team, is headed to the National Football League’s biggest stage as a consultant on the Philadelphia Eagles coaching staff.</p>
<p>The Eagles will face the Kansas City Chiefs for the NFL title on Sunday, Feb. 12.</p>
<p>Brady started the season as offensive coordinator for the Indianapolis Colts, but was let go in November as part of a series of staff shakeups. Just before Thanksgiving, he joined the Eagles, who finished the regular season with a 14-3 record and the top seed in the National Football Conference. They beat the San Francisco 49ers, 31-7, on Sunday to advance to Super Bowl LVII.</p>
<p>Several coaches on the Eagles staff had previously worked with Brady in Indianapolis, including head coach Nick Sirianni.</p>
<p>Brady has impressed at every stop. He was in his fifth season with the Colts, where General Manager Chris Ballard told Yahoo! Sports of Brady: “He’s got a very sharp mind, the quarterback room respects him, he works and he’s got a great demeanor in terms of calmness. There’s never any panic with Marcus. He’s always the same; even though the heart may be beating harder underneath, he never shows it.”</p>
<p>Brady is already a three-time champion as an offensive coordinator in the Canadian Football League, where he started his coaching career after spending 2002-08 as a CFL backup quarterback. In 2002, he had a training camp stint with the NFL’s Green Bay Packers.</p>
<p>He was the Matadors’ starting quarterback in 2001, the last CSUN football season before the program was discontinued. Brady set CSUN all-time records in passing yardage and touchdowns, and NCAA Division I-AA records in completions and attempts over a four-year career (1998-2001).</p>
