Arizona has made a big move in the college football coaching world, hiring Brent Brennan from San Jose State to be their next head coach. This comes just 48 hours after the previous head coach, Jedd Fisch, left for Washington.
Brennan, who is 50 years old, has agreed to a five-year contract with Arizona. This news comes from a source with direct knowledge of the deal who spoke to The Associated Press. The terms of the deal have not been released by the school at this time.
This hire is just the latest in a series of coaching changes in college football, starting with Nick Saban's retirement at Alabama. Washington's Kalen DeBoer was hired to replace Saban, then Fisch replaced DeBoer, and now Brennan has taken over at Arizona.
Interestingly, Brennan was actually a candidate for the Arizona job when Fisch was hired after the 2020 season. He has spent the last seven seasons at San Jose State, leading the team to three bowl games in the last four seasons, including the 2020 Arizona Bowl in Tucson. During his time at San Jose State, he has a record of 34-48, which is quite an accomplishment considering the program's struggles in the Mountain West Conference.
Notably, Brennan is the first coach to lead San Jose State to three bowl games. He also has experience as an assistant coach at Oregon State and Cal Poly, as well as a graduate assistant at Arizona in 2000.
This hiring is a big move for Arizona and could potentially bring a new era of success to the Wildcats. It will be interesting to see how Brennan's leadership and coaching style will impact the team in the coming seasons.
