Louisville Coach Jeff Brohm Turns Down Offer from Penn State

December 3, 2025 - 21:06

In a surprising turn of events, Louisville's head coach Jeff Brohm has declined an offer from Penn State, following the Nittany Lions' decision to part ways with James Franklin in October. The coaching carousel has been in full swing, as Penn State seeks a new leader to guide its football program. Just a day prior to Brohm's decision, the university approached BYU's Kalani Sitake, who also opted to stay with his current program.

As Penn State navigates the challenges of finding a suitable replacement, speculation continues to grow around other potential candidates. Among those emerging as a strong option is former NFL coach Brian Daboll, who has garnered attention due to his successful tenure in the league. The Nittany Lions are looking for a coach who can reinvigorate the program and lead them back to prominence. The coaching search remains a critical focus for the university as it aims to secure a strong future for its football team.
