While there may be other candidates in Louisville athletic director Vince Tyra's rolodex, Brohm is the clear cut No. 1 choice according to sources close to the situation.
Tyra and the Brohm family have known each other for years, and both have strong ties to Louisville private school, Trinity High.
And given the clear focus being on Brohm, I'm told Tyra would not have made a move to fire Petrino without knowing there was a deal within grasp with him.
The issue could be complicated if another suitor makes a serious run at Brohm, but I don't foresee that being an issue.
