Following his team’s win over Toledo in the Boca Raton Bowl on Tuesday, Dec. 23, the Cardinals’ coach appears to have removed his name from the mix for the head coach opening at Michigan when asked by Alexis Cubit of the Louisville Courier-Journal — part of the USA TODAY Network — about his name being linked to the Wolverines.
‘I don’t speak on other jobs. I’m happy with this one and we are going to enjoy the victory,’ Brohm said following the Boca Raton Bowl on Dec. 23.
Dec. 23’s win in the Boca Raton Bowl marked the 28th career win for Brohm at his alma mater and closed his third season at Louisville with a 9-4 overall record. The Cardinals have finished with a winning record and with at least nine wins in each season under Brohm.
Brohm’s name has been thrown in the mix of names for the opening at Michigan, which opened on Wednesday, Dec. 10 following the abrupt firing of Sherrone Moore with cause. On3’s Pete Nakos reported on Tuesday, Dec. 23 that Brohm’s name has become one of interest in Michigan’s search for Moore’s replacement.
Moore was fired by Michigan on Dec. 10 after a university investigation found ‘credible evidence’ of Moore having been ‘engaged in an inappropriate relationship with a staff member.’ The ex-Wolverines coach was arrested on the same day and later charged with home invasion, stalking, and breaking and entering on Friday, Dec. 12.
As previously reported by USA TODAY, Tony Garcia of the Detroit Free Press — part of the USA TODAY Network — reported on Monday, Dec. 22 that Wolverines interim coach Biff Poggi told reporters during a Citrus Bowl media appearance that athletic director Warde Manuel told the team he hopes to have a new coach in place between Christmas and the Wolverines’ bowl game against Texas on Wednesday, Dec. 31.
