I’ve been pretty clear when it comes to how I view Jeff Brohm’s first season. It’s crazy and genuinely unfair to expect him to do something that no other coach had done at Louisville. Winning ten games in a power conference is just that and he met that over-the-top expectation.
This was always attainable with a favorable schedule and a roster that needed to be tweaked but not overhauled. But, no one expected a championship berth to start the season and that should not be forgotten now that he was able to actually pull it off.
This is in no way a preamble to a moral victory of some sort but the loss to Kentucky elicited some of the weirder responses (not on this site) that I’ve seen since I’ve been doing this.
