Arizona Wildcats Football: Brent Brennan Steps Down
A Change in Leadership
The University of Arizona has announced that head football coach Brent Brennan has resigned from his position. Brennan had been with the Wildcats for six seasons, compiling a 25-42 record. In a statement, Brennan said that he was "proud of what we have accomplished during my time here" but that he felt it was "the right time for a new voice to lead this program." Athletic Director Dave Heeke thanked Brennan for his service and said that a national search for a new coach would begin immediately.
What's Next for the Wildcats?
The Wildcats will now begin the search for their next head coach. Several potential candidates have been mentioned, including former Arizona quarterback Khalil Tate and current Utah offensive coordinator Andy Ludwig. It is unclear who the Wildcats will ultimately hire, but they will need to make a decision quickly as the 2023 season is just a few months away.
Brennan's Legacy
Brennan leaves Arizona with a mixed legacy. He led the Wildcats to their first bowl game in five years in 2019, but the team struggled in recent seasons. Brennan was also criticized for his handling of off-field issues, including the dismissal of several players for violating team rules.
The Future of Arizona Football
The future of Arizona football is uncertain. The Wildcats have not won a conference championship since 1993, and they have not been to a major bowl game since 1998. The new head coach will have a lot of work to do to turn the program around, but there is reason for optimism. The Wildcats have a talented roster, and they play in a relatively weak conference. With the right leadership, Arizona football could be a force to be reckoned with in the Pac-12.
