Jeff Brohm, former Louisville/NFL/XFL quarterback, two time reigning Conference USA champion, up-and-coming coaching wizard, and all-around beautiful man, will be the next head coach of our Purdue Boilermakers.

We did it!

Over the last year, we at BS have been compiling our ideal candidates to succeed Darrell Hazell, and it resulted in our massive, cathartic, and slightly unnecessary list of 50+ potential Purdue head coaching candidates immediately after Hazell was fired. For a peek behind the curtain, all of us put together our top 15ish candidates, and the average rankings produced our top tier.

Our collective #1 choice was Jeff Brohm. New AD Mike Bobinski, the Board of Trustees, President Mitch Daniels, and search firm DHR International agreed.

We’ll be analyzing his offensive style, recruiting philosophy, and possible sources of concern in the upcoming days, but know that this is an absolute home-run hire for Purdue. Brohm reportedly turned down offers from Baylor and Cincinnati to come to West Lafayette, indicating that he’s buying the renewed vision being sold by Purdue’s new athletic leadership.
