Head Coach Jeff Brohm of the Louisville football program has had the pedal to the floor since arriving back in his hometown of Louisville, Kentucky from West Lafayette, Indiana. Former Head Coach at Purdue University, Brohm did not have access to the broad landscape of players that he has access to at Louisville. Primarily due to stringent academic requirements and a deeper passion for basketball, recruiting at Purdue wasn’t as wide open as it is now.
The University of Louisville, still a part of a Power Five Conference, not only allows him access to a larger pool of players but still maintains top-tier resources in order to help his recruiting pitches. And on top of all of that, he is a native of Louisville, played for Louisville, previously coached as an assistant at Louisville, and is a member of the First Football Family in Louisville. So, his knowledge of and passion for not only the university but also the city gives him a certain edge in recruiting that few of his predecessors had.
To that end, he has succeeded in many recruiting pitches to prospects thus far and does not appear to be slowing down anytime soon. The Louisville football program has an aura around it that fuels the city in a way it hasn’t seen in years, or maybe ever.
