Brohm has been the head coach of the Boilermakers since 2017, leading Purdue to last weekend’s Big Ten championship game against Michigan. 

But Brohm is from Louisville, Kentucky, attending high school in the city and playing quarterback at the university from 1989-1993.

Brohm’s hire ends a tumultuous few days for Louisville, which lost its head coach on Monday. 

Scott Satterfield, who had two years left on his contract at Louisville, was introduced as the next head coach of the Cincinnati Bearcats Monday. 

In an odd twist, Satterfield’s former and current teams will square off in less than two weeks in the Wasabi Fenway Bowl at Fenway Park. 

At his introductory press conference, Satterfield addressed the uniqueness of the situation.

“I told both teams that I am removing myself from the bowl game,” Satterfield said. “I won’t be there. Not going to be in that situation.”
