Coaching career

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.

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.

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

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.
