Drew Burnham joined the Wranglers' staff in July 2024 AS the Wide Receivers Coach and Special Teams Coordinator. In March 2025, Burnham was promoted to the role of Co-Offensive Coordinator. In addition to his on-the-field duties, Burnham also serves as the Out-of-State Recruiting Coordinator for the Wranglers. His coaching career has taken him all over the country, from the Division One ranks down to the high school level. 

Burnham's first season in Cisco (2024) was highlighted by mentoring three all-SWJCFC selections, with Kye Stone receiving first-team honors, while Jamaal Hall and Miles Denson received second-team and honorable-mention recognition. The Wranglers' special teams units improved immensely as well. On Ocotber 26, during a home game against Navarro College, Burnham's units blocked a punt and a field goal, returning the latter for a score. On November 16, in the first-round of the SWJCFC Playoffs, the aforementioned Denson returned two kick-offs for touchdowns. 

Burnham began his coaching career as an undergraduate assistant at Jacksonville State (FBS) in Jacksonville, Alabama, from 2009-11. He then returned to his hometown of Rome, Georgia, to coach high school football for three seasons, from 2012-14. Bunrham spent two seasons at Model High School (2012-13) and one at Coosa High School (2014). In the summer of 2013, he completed an internship with the Baltimore Ravens of the National Football League. 

He returned to the collegiate ranks in 2015, joining the staff at Murray State (FCS) in Murray, Kentucky. He held multiple different roles for the Racers from 2015-17, serving as an Offensive Graduate Assistant for two seasons, and the Director of Football Operations for one. From 2018-2020, Burnham again returned to Georgia, serving as the Tight Ends coach at Shorter University (DII). 

Burnham's first experience at the NJCAA level came in the fall of 2020, when he was hired as the Assistant Defensive Line coach at Hutchinson Community College (NJCAA) in Hutchinson, Kansas. He got to be apart of the Blue Dragons' national championship in the spring of 2021, before venturing to Nebraska to join the Peru State (NAIA) football staff as Wide Receivers Coach and Special Teams Coordinator. Burnham won 11 games in his two seasons with the Bobcats (2022-23). 

In total, Burnham has coached in six states and won four conference championships, as well as tutored 18 all-conference players and four all-americans.

Burnham is a native of Rome, Georgia. He graduated from Murray State with a B.S. in Recreational Leadership. He and his wife, Carrie, along with their dog, Roscoe, reside in Cisco.
