Louisville OC Brian Brohm has been patient in waiting for his opportunity to be a play-caller. When the time came, he was hesitant but ready.

Louisville football OC Brian Brohm finds rhythm in new role as play-caller

Brian Brohm, Louisville's offensive coordinator, has found his stride as a play-caller, stepping away from his role as the secondary leader under his older brother, head coach Jeff Brohm. Brian, who has been with the team for a decade, took over play-calling duties a month ago, and Jeff has since relinquished that responsibility.

Brian had always been involved in crafting the game plan, scripting plays during the week, and incorporating his inputs during games. With his brother's approval, he now has the final say in play selection. This shift has led to an improved Louisville offense, which is currently on a three-game winning streak, scoring an average of 43.3 points per game.

The team's offensive success has been driven by a deep roster of talented skill players, including running back Isaac Brown and wide receiver Tre Richardson, who have been instrumental in the unit's performance. With a strong offensive line and reliable pass-catchers, Louisville's offense is ranked among the top five in the nation for scoring (40.4), total offense (492.1 yards per game), rushing offense (225.1 yards per game), passing yards per completion (14.5) and passing offense (267.0).

Despite the pressure to maintain this level of success, Brian is taking it in stride. He acknowledges his brother's expertise and commitment to not second-guess himself, instead focusing on making the necessary calls to keep the offense functioning at a high level. Louisville's offense is set to face Georgia Tech in the upcoming game, where they will look to further solidify their position as a top-ranked team.
