After the Cardinals defeated <a href=\"https:\/\/www.on3.com\/college\/toledo-rockets\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Toledo<\/a> by a score of 27-22 in the Busch\u2019s Boca Raton Bowl of Beans on Tuesday, Brohm was asked about the reports tying him to the Wolverines job.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWell I don\u2019t speak on other jobs,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/ericcrawford\/status\/2003609830079254940?s=46&amp;t=TsujW0749NZTVeSSvCEa3g\" rel=\"nofollow\">Brohm said, per Eric Crawford of WDRB in Louisville<\/a>. \u201cI\u2019m happy with this one and happy with the victory.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Multiple reports, including <a href=\"https:\/\/www.on3.com\/teams\/michigan-wolverines\/news\/michigan-football-coaching-search-a-saturday-afternoon-meeting-and-a-new-focus\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">one from Chris Balas of The Wolverine<\/a>, have linked Brohm as being a candidate for the job, which came open after <a href=\"https:\/\/www.on3.com\/rivals\/coach\/sherrone-moore-134559\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Sherrone Moore<\/a> was fired. Brohm just finished his third season at Louisville, where he also played quarterback from 1989-1993. <\/p>\n<p>The Cardinals played in the ACC Championship during his inaugural season in 2023 and have gone 28-12 overall in his tenure. That includes 9-4 this season after the win Tuesday. <\/p>\n<p>Prior to taking over at Louisville, Brohm made stops as the head coach at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.on3.com\/college\/western-kentucky-hilltoppers\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Western Kentucky<\/a> (2014-16) and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.on3.com\/college\/purdue-boilermakers\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Purdue<\/a> (2017-22). Overall, he is 94-56 in his career, including 7-2 in bowl games.  <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/ftw.usatoday.com\/story\/sports\/ncaaf\/2025\/12\/22\/keegan-michael-key-bushs-beans-bowl-lions\/87883437007\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">According to USA Today<\/a>, Brohm made around $5.9 million this season at Louisville, ranking him 43rd among college football coaches. His current contract runs through 2030.<\/p>\n<p>CBS Sports <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbssports.com\/college-football\/news\/jeff-brohm-louisville-cardinals-coach-contract-extension-penn-state\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">reported earlier this month<\/a> that Brohm had informed Louisville officials that he was not interested in other jobs. This came after reports that he was a candidate for the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.on3.com\/college\/penn-state-nittany-lions\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Penn State<\/a> job, which was eventually filled by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.on3.com\/rivals\/coach\/matt-campbell-132266\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Matt Campbell<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>However, that report happened prior to the Wolverines job coming open on Dec. 10. So if Michigan were to come knocking, it remains to be seen whether Jeff Brohm would listen. <\/p>\n<p>His history with the Cardinals as not only an alumnus, but also a Louisville native, gives strong reason for him to stay. For now, he\u2019ll just look to enjoy the victory with his team after another successful season at his alma mater.<\/p>\n<p>Louisville defeats Toledo to win Busch\u2019s Boca Raton Bowl of Beans<\/p>\n<p>The Cardinals used a strong rushing attack to outlast Toledo on Tuesday and claim their second straight bowl win under Brohm. Both <a href=\"https:\/\/www.on3.com\/rivals\/keyjuan-brown-146404\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Keyjaun Brown<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.on3.com\/rivals\/isaac-brown-151622\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Isaac Brown<\/a> surpassed the 100-yard mark on the afternoon and the latter added a pair of touchdowns. <\/p>\n<p>Lousville led 14-3 entering the fourth quarter and quickly scored a touchdown to go up 21-3. However, the Rockerrs refused to go out quietly and reeled off 19 points in the fourth to make things interesting near the end. <\/p>\n<p>But Louisville got the ball back with a little more than two minutes remaining and refused to relinquish it. They ran out the clock and secure the victory to end the year on a high note.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Louisville coach Jeff Brohm declined to comment on his rumored candidacy for the open job at Michigan.
