Michigan’s search for a football coach continues in the wake of the stunning firing of former coach Sherrone Moore, with a new name entering the mix as the potential new leader of the Wolverines.
On3Sports reported Tuesday that Louisville’s Jeff Brohm has emerged as a candidate in Ann Arbor. Brohm is in his third season at Louisville and has the 8-4 Cardinals set Tuesday for the Boca Raton Bowl against 8-4 Toledo (2 pm ET, ESPN).

He is 93-56 overall as a head coach at Louisville, Purdue (2017-22) and Western Kentucky (2014-16). Brohm’s Hilltoppers won the 2015 and 2016 Conference USA crowns, his final team at Purdue in 2022 earned a spot in the Big Ten title game, and his first team at Louisville in 2023 earned an ACC title game spot.
