Donovan Mitchell seems to have offered his opinion for whom he would like Louisville to hire as a replacement for the recently fired Bobby Petrino.
Two days after the Cardinals fell to 2-8 on the season following a loss to Syracuse on Friday, Louisville fired Petrino. Next up for the school is the search for a replacement. Former Louisville basketball player Donovan Mitchell would like to see Purdue’s Jeff Brohm land the job.

Brohm was a quarterback at Louisville, so it would a return to his alma mater for the 47 year old. Purdue is 5-5 on the season, including a 49-20 win over then No. 2 Ohio State. Brohm is 12-11 since taking over at Purdue prior to last season.
Oddsmakers appear to be thinking along the same lines as Mitchell.
