In a crazy ending to a day that saw Purdue coach Jeff Brohm turn down an offer to become the head coach at his college alma mater, the high school he attended has cancelled classes on Thursday because of a threat turned into police.

Louisville Trinity High School announced late Wednesday evening it was calling off classes tomorrow on the advice of the St. Matthews Police because of threats against the school. A statement from the school said the threat was made “due to Jeff Brohm deciding to remain at Purdue.”

Brohm was a Mr. Football at the high school in 1988 and later starred at Louisville before playing for seven seasons in the NFL. He is a former assistant coach at Louisville and was the frontrunner to replace Bobby Petrino in the school’s coaching search.

U of L athletic director Vince Tyra, also a graduate of Trinity, asked for permission to talk to Brohm on Sunday and the two met on Tuesday. He said it was an “emotional” decision but on Wednesday night announced he was staying at Purdue.

St. Matthews police said one threat made on Twitter was that someone was going to burn down the school because of Brohm’s decision. Police said they are investigating that threat and watching the school for any other threats.

Brohm led Trinity to a state title in an undefeated season of 1988. His brother, Greg, played for the Shamrocks and graduated in '88, while another brother - Brian - won three state titles and was also named Mr. Football in 2002.

His father, Oscar, is still the quarterbacks coach at Trinity.

The Shamrocks have won a state record 25 state titles and claimed a national title in 2011.
