10. Jeff Brohm – Purdue Boilermakers 

Brohm was hired by Purdue in 2017 after a successful three year run at Western Kentucky and looked like he had the Boilermakers back to competing in his first two seasons.

Trips to the Foster Farms Bowl and Music City Bowl mixed with a shocking upset of Ohio State on prime time had Purdue the darling of the Big Ten, however reality has set in a bit over the past two seasons in West Lafayette. A 6-12 record over the past two years have been marred with quarterback issues and now Purdue had to watch their best player Rondale Moore walk out the door to the NFL.

Brohm surprised all of college football when he declined an opening at his alma mater Lousiville, so it seems he has intentions of sticking around for some time, and it would be smart of Purdue to let him.
