Just one year ago we were questioning if Jeff Brohm was the guy and if he should have a warming hot seat. After a 9-4 season, Purdue’s first nine win season in 18 years, and a thrilling bowl win, coach Brohm is once again secure in his job.
The 2021 season was fantastic from top to bottom. Instead of struggling to make a bowl game Purdue exceeded all expectations, beat a pair of top 5 teams, and closed by winning five of the final six games. It won five games in one season away from Ross-Ade Stadium for the first time in 78 years.
