LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Louisville hired Jeff Brohm as its new football coach, concluding a whirlwind process that ended with the school welcoming home a native end who had a hand in the Cardinals’ success as a player and assistant coach.<\/p>\n

The University of Louisville Athletic Association’s executive board approved a six-year contract on Thursday that will pay the former Purdue coach a base salary of $5 million next season with annual increases of $100,000, plus incentives. Brohm will also receive one-time payments of $500,000 in 2023 and 2024 that’ll increase by $250,000 for two-year cycles up to $1 million in 2027-28.<\/p>\n

Brohm, who was a Louisville quarterback and minor league baseball player, was introduced Thursday to a standing ovation in a packed news conference at Cardinal Stadium. His Twitter bio reflected his new job.<\/p>\n

“It’s really gratifying and humbling to be up here,” Brohm said. “This is home to me. Not a job, but a way of life.”<\/p>\n
