Brohm Leaving WKU to Become Purdue Head Football Coach

Abbey Oldham

The head football coach at Western Kentucky University has accepted an offer to become the next head coach at Purdue. 

Jeff Brohm informed WKU Athletics Director Todd Stewart and team members of his decision Monday morning.

Brohm is coming off back-to-back Conference USA championships and is 30-10 in the three seasons since taking over for Bobby Petrino. 

Associate Head Coach and Defensive Coordinator Nick Holt, who has served on the WKU coaching staff since 2013, will serve as interim head coach moving forward and into the 2016 Boca Raton Bowl. 

WKU has scheduled a 4:00 p.m. news conference at Diddle Arena.

Purdue dismissed coach Darrell Hazell in October following a 3-9 record this year.

The award-winning news team at WKU Public Radio consists of Dan Modlin, Kevin Willis, Lisa Autry, and Joe Corcoran.
