Former Cal and Purdue quarterback Jack Plummer decided to leave the Bears this offseason following one year in the program. Plummer elected to reunite with one of his former Boilermaker coaches Jeff Brohm after entering into the NCAA transfer portal for the second time in his college career.

Brohm is now the current head coach of the Louisville Cardinals. So what made Plummer decide to travel across the country to join his former coach? As it turns out, the style of offense Brohm runs is one of the key reasons he joined the Cardinals.

“Well, they let you throw the ball, and they let you throw it deep. They give you keys, (and) they teach you up really well,” said Plummer during a recent interview on The Deener. “They coach you like, ‘Hey, here’s where the ball should go versus these coverages. This is what you should be doing versus X, Y, and Z.’ And then it’s up to you to be able to go out there and make the throws and do it. And we run all sorts of plays. Even if it’s a play that he doesn’t have but he sees someone else run, we’ll put it in. So, you learn a lot of football.”

Plummer shares what impact did his familiarity with Brohm’s system

Also, during the interview, Plummer said his familiarity with Brohm’s system had a huge impact on his transfer decision to Louisville.

“So playing at Purdue for Coach Brohm for four years, just knowing his system. And he takes pride in having a lot of plays, the volume of it, and if you’re a quarterback that, you got all the tools and all the whistles in order to be successful,” said Plummer.

“Just looking back at the quarterbacks he’s had, not only you know, at Purdue, but going back to Western Kentucky, they’re pretty much all in the NFL. And some of them (are) still in the NFL. So obviously, that’s a huge draw for me. And then, as well as Coach Brohm, his younger brother Brian playing quarterback in the NFL. It’s a great feeling for me being like, ‘Hey, I’m getting coached up by the best here.’ And my goals are to play at the next level, and playing quarterback for them will help me get there.”

Plummer spent one year away from his new head coach at Cal, throwing for 3,095 yards and 21 touchdowns. In his four years at Purdue, with Brohm, he played in 17 games throwing for 3405 yards, 26 touchdowns, and 10 interceptions, all while completing 64.8 percent of his pass attempts.
