Illinois hired Brohm and Nord on Wednesday to replace recently fired coaches Kurt Beathard and Jim Pry.
Brohm was a quarterback for five NFL teams between 1994 and 2000. He coached at Louisville from 2004 through 2008 after playing for the Cardinals in the early 1990s. His brother is former Louisville and current Buffalo Bills quarterback Brian Brohm.
Nord began coaching at Louisville in 1995.
