The Dick Tomey protege will become 31st head coach in program history
TUCSON — Brent Brennan will be introduced as Arizona’s new football coach Wednesday at Noon press conference at Arizona Stadium.
Brennan has a five-year deal pending approval from the Arizona Board of Regents.
He joins the Wildcats following seven seasons leading the San José State University football program where he steered the Spartans to three bowl game appearances and earned the 2020 Mountain West Coach of the Year award.
Brennan, 50, is an experienced leader in college football who enjoyed two stints coaching under legendary Arizona head coach Dick Tomey, the winningest coach in program history. The San José native first learned under Tomey with the Wildcats as a graduate assistant in 2000, and again from 2005-09 at SJSU as an assistant coach. The ties between Brennan and the University of Arizona run deep, with Brent’s brother Bradley playing five years as a wide out in Tucson under Tomey, and Brent’s wife Courtney being an alumna of the University.
