Louisville is set to kickoff year three under Brohm in exactly three weeks. The Cardinals will be hosting in-state FCS foe Eastern Kentucky, with kickoff set for Saturday, August 30 at 3:30 p.m. EST.

Louisville Cardinals head football coach Jeff Brohm at a morning practice Wednesday. July 30, 2025. The Cardinals' 2024 record: 9–4, 5–3 in the ACC.

Brohm met with the media after the practice and said he liked what he saw on day one. "There are a lot of things we are out there trying to accomplish," Brohm said.

And Brohm's "shut your mouth" moment was a reminder – great coaching involves clear communication and trust. In the end, maybe the best headset message isn't what's spoken.
