With Brohm, the school gets someone who's familiar with the culture, tradition and success that he helped build as a player and coach. His greatest coaching success came in Bowling Green with the Hilltoppers, who went 30-10 from 2014-16 with three bowl wins and a No. Brohm reunited with Petrino at Western Kentucky and succeeded him there after Petrino returned to Louisville in 2014 for a second stint. Louisville finished the regular season 7-5, with a 4-4 record in the Atlantic Coast Conference. During a Monday news conference, athletic director Josh Heird said he believes Louisville is “not there” in terms of being one of the country's best programs. The university scheduled a news conference for Thursday “regarding the football program’s leadership.”
