Playing career

Football

Brohm played college football at the University of Louisville. Prior to attending college, Brohm was a standout high school player at Trinity High School in Louisville. He was named the "Kentucky High School Player of the Decade" for the 1980s and won the Kentucky "Mr. Football" Award in 1988 while leading his team to a state championship and undefeated season. Brohm was inducted as a member of the 2014 Kentucky High School Athletic Association Hall of Fame class.

Brohm played professionally for the San Diego Chargers, Washington Redskins, San Francisco 49ers, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Denver Broncos and Cleveland Browns of the National Football League and for the Orlando Rage of the XFL. During the 2001 XFL season, Brohm owned the league's highest QB rating at 99.9 and was named first team All-XFL. He was at the receiving end of a particularly brutal sack in the Week 5 contest against the Memphis Maniax, but returned the next week; a shoulder injury in the Week 7 contest against the Los Angeles Xtreme ended Brohm's playing career.

Baseball

After a stellar career at Trinity High School, Brohm was drafted in the 7th round of the 1989 MLB Draft by the Montreal Expos. He turned down the Expos offer in order to accept a scholarship to play football for the University of Louisville. However, after only one year of college football Brohm had a change of heart and decided to pursue playing both sports, by playing minor league baseball during his college summers. He held a workout for all MLB teams prior to the 1990 MLB draft and was selected by the Cleveland Indians in the 4th round. This time Brohm chose to play baseball and football. Brohm played for two summers in the minor leagues before quitting to focus on football.

Coaching career

Louisville Fire

After a brief stint as head coach of the Louisville Fire arena football team, Bobby Petrino hired Brohm to return to his alma mater as quarterbacks coach in 2003.

University of Louisville

After Petrino left Louisville to take the Atlanta Falcons head coaching job, new Cardinals head coach Steve Kragthorpe kept Brohm on his staff as an Assistant Head Coach and Passing Game Coordinator. During this time, he coached his younger brother Brian Brohm, who was quarterback from 2004 to 2007. He was promoted to offensive coordinator for the 2008 season.

Florida Atlantic

Brohm joined his former college head coach Howard Schnellenberger at Florida Atlantic for the 2009 season.

Illinois

He then took a position coaching quarterbacks on Ron Zook's staff at Illinois.

UAB

In 2012, new head coach Garrick McGee hired Brohm to serve as Offensive Coordinator and quarterbacks coach at UAB.

Western Kentucky

After a single season, Brohm decided to take a pay cut and take the Assistant Head Coach and Offensive Coordinator position at Western Kentucky University. He would again be coaching under Bobby Petrino, for whom he was an assistant at Louisville.

Brohm was promoted to head coach after Petrino was hired to his former position at Louisville in place of Charlie Strong, who moved to replace Mack Brown at Texas.
