Jeff Brohm

Current head coach at Purdue

Apparently this was the year that coaches from smaller schools decided to make the jump to Power-Five conferences.

Jeff Brohm falls in the same category as Matt Rhule and PJ Fleck — they all took new jobs this off-season.

Which means it would be tough to get him to come to Tennessee.

But he is certainly a coach that deserves a look.

Brohm, who was Western Kentucky’s offensive coordinator when the Hilltoppers visited Neyland Stadium in 2013, is from the Bobby Petrino coaching tree. He served as Petrino’s quarterbacks coach at Louisville and his offensive coordinator at Western Kentucky.

Pertrino left Western Kentucky after one season and Brohm was promoted to head coach.

In three seasons as the Hilltoppers head coach, Brohm compiled a 30-10 record.

The former NFL quarterback received a $3.3 million per year salary to become Purdue’s head coach.
