Louisville football coach Jeff Brohm agreed to an eight-year, $64.8 million contract extension Thursday that runs through the 2033 season.
The University of Louisville Athletic Association Board of Directors approved the deal for Brohm, who will receive an annual base salary that starts at $6.3 million and scales upward each season to $8.7 million in 2032.
Brohm, who turns 55 on Friday, guided the Cardinals to their second straight 9-4 record last season in addition to a win in the Boca Raton Bowl. The Louisville native is 28-12 during his first three seasons at his alma mater.
“This extension reflects the dedication and commitment of our players and staff,” Brohm said. “We’ve made meaningful progress the past three seasons, and we look forward to continuing to pursue higher goals. We are committed to putting in the work that is necessary to consistently compete for championships and play an exciting brand of football. We are proud of where we are but even more excited for the future that lies ahead.”
Brohm reportedly had been linked to the job openings at Penn State, Michigan and Florida at times last season.
“Over the past three seasons, Jeff has clearly demonstrated that he is the right person to lead our football program, now and into the future,” said Josh Heird, vice president/director of athletics. “He understands what it means to represent the University of Louisville on the field and in this community. Jeff is building a culture rooted in accountability, development, and competitive excellence. I am confident in the direction of our program and excited about what the future holds under his leadership.”
If Brohm leaves before Dec. 31, 2027, he would owe the school $3 million. The number drops to $1 million after that. If he is fired without cause before Dec. 31, 2029, the university would owe him 90% of his total remaining salary.
Brohm originally signed a six-year deal with Louisville in December 2022.
He is 94-56 overall including stints at Western Kentucky (2014-16) and Purdue (2017-22). His teams are 7-2 in bowl games.
“We’ve had some good results and we’re in decent shape. I think there’s a lot (of the season) to go, we still want to keep improving, there’s layers that we want to get to, really. I’ll see, you know.
“I keep saying the same things every week. There’s only so much I can say in terms of that, but I’ve said it many times.
“Again, I enjoy being here, I love being here. It’s a real privilege to be in the position I am but thriving with the responsibility that we’ve got.”
The former England international, 44, said he was unsure when he would get clarity over his future.
“Genuinely it’s not something in terms of deadlines that I’m really chasing. I think it’ll become clear when it’s going to become clear.”

Michael Carrick said he loves managing Manchester United but is not “chasing” an answer on his future as the club closes in on a Champions League spot.
United’s former midfielder was appointed as head coach until the end of the season following Ruben Amorim’s acrimonious exit in January.
Carrick has masterminded wins against Manchester City and Arsenal during an impressive spell that has lifted United to third in the Premier League.
But he still has no clarity on his future.
“I’ve said it many times, I enjoy being here, I enjoy the role I’m in,” Carrick said on Thursday, ahead of Monday’s home match against Brentford.
