From CBS Sports:

Jeff Brohm is in the midst of finalizing a deal to return to Louisville as its next coach, sources tell CBS Sports' Dennis Dodd. Brohm, a native of Louisville who also quarterbacked the Cardinals in the 1990s, will leave Purdue after six successful seasons to return to his alma mater. The Louisville board of trustees is expected to formally approve Brohm's contract in a meeting on Thursday.

Brohm has led the Boilermakers to a 36-34 record across those six campaigns with a 17-9 mark over the last two seasons and an appearance in the Big Ten Championship Game following the 2022 campaign. Prior to joining Purdue, he coached Western Kentucky to a 30-10 mark in three years with a sterling 22-5 record across the final two.(excerpt)

Fickell to Wisconsin. Satterfield to Cincinnati, Brohm to Louisville. The coaching carousel spins round and round.

Yeah, a lateral career move for Brohm, but he is a Louisville alum and former player. So I guess it makes sense.

I get it. Kinda wish he'd stayed at Purdue. He had them heading in the right direction.
