New Purdue Boilermakers Head Coach Jeff Brohm comes off as an all business, no frills kind of guy. Conversing with him you get the impression that if he wanted to channel more energy into having more memorable media skills, he could. By design though, he’d rather channel that energy into the nuts and bolts of his job.
Brohm is way more about Xs and Os than branding, but you can tell who could be the salesman type if it interested him. He’s truly an offensive guru as a man who played for six different teams during his seven year NFL career. The cradle of quarterbacks is now lead by a guy who’s been a QB coach at five different institutions.
Brohm claimed the Conference USA title twice in three years at Western Kentucky. He engineered WKU’s fast paced attack to the tune of 45 points a game over his three seasons; number one nationally. It’s clear- this guys is a passing offense wonk, an artist with his system.
He’s not about memorable slogans or flashy catch-phrases. He’s also not about flashy cars, as he drives a 2004 Honda Accord with over a 100,000 miles on it. Jeff Brohm admits he was genuinely worried that it could get towed from the head football coach’s designated parking spot.
