Greg Brohm Named New Florida Gators Coach in Stunning Move Over Louisville, Kentucky, and Auburn
In a move sending shockwaves through the college football landscape, the Florida Gators have officially announced Greg Brohm as their newest addition to the coaching staff. Brohm, a seasoned football mind and respected figure behind the scenes, chose Florida over serious offers from Louisville, Kentucky, and Auburn, signaling a bold new chapter in his coaching journey and the Gators’ football program.
Greg Brohm, the older brother of Louisville head coach Jeff Brohm and offensive coordinator Brian Brohm, brings a wealth of experience and a championship pedigree to Gainesville. Known primarily for his operational brilliance and football IQ, Brohm has spent years building elite programs from the ground up, helping transform Western Kentucky and Purdue into competitive powerhouses during his tenure as Director of Football Operations.
Now, Florida is betting on Brohm’s experience and football acumen to elevate their program back to national prominence. The Gators have endured a turbulent few seasons in the ever-competitive SEC, and the addition of Brohm represents a significant strategic shift in leadership and team culture.
“I’m excited to join the University of Florida and be a part of a program with so much history and promise,” Brohm said in a statement. “This is a tremendous opportunity, and I’m committed to helping Florida return to championship-level football.”
While details of his specific coaching role are still unfolding, insiders suggest Brohm will take on a high-level administrative and analytical coaching position, potentially overseeing game planning, strategy, and team operations. Given his background and tactical mind, Brohm is expected to become a central figure in the Gators’ efforts to modernize their football infrastructure.
What makes this move particularly striking is that Brohm turned down a return to Louisville—where his family name is deeply woven into the football program’s identity. Sources close to the situation revealed that both Louisville and Kentucky made strong pushes to bring Greg back to the state of Kentucky, while Auburn had been exploring options to bring him in as part of a restructured staff ahead of the 2025 season.
But in the end, it was Florida’s vision and leadership that won Brohm over.
Florida Athletic Director Scott Stricklin praised the hire, saying, “Greg Brohm is one of the sharpest minds in college football. He has helped build winning programs and understands what it takes to succeed at the highest level. We’re thrilled to have him in Gainesville.”
The Brohm family legacy is well-established, but this move gives Greg Brohm his own distinct spotlight in a different region and a different conference. His reputation for organization, leadership, and team-building precedes him, and Florida fans are already eager to see how his influence translates to results on the field.
Former players who worked under Brohm at Purdue and Western Kentucky have described him as a “master strategist” and “the ultimate team guy.” His understanding of both the business and the football side of the game makes him uniquely qualified to be a difference-maker at Florida.
As the Gators look ahead to a new season, the addition of Greg Brohm may be just what the program needs to climb back into national relevance. With SEC rivalries heating up and recruiting battles intensifying, Florida’s bold move could turn out to be one of the most impactful coaching hires of the year.
Only time will tell how big an impact Brohm will have in Gainesville, but for now, excitement is building, and the Gator Nation has reason to believe again.
