re: Arizona targeting San Jose State’s Brent Brennan

As an Arizona fan happy about this. SJSU might be the most difficult job in the nation. They were averaging a bowl game every 10 years when Brennan came in and their roster was decimated.

His record is blah because the cupboard was totally bare his first two years there, but he's had them in a bowl 3 of the last 4 years, which is easily a high water mark for SJSU.

SJSU literally had to have fundraisers to afford a training table for their players, they are so underfunded. Being a consistent bowl team there is a big deal.

Insiders at Arizona think Brennan has a good chance of keeping the current roster mostly intact and that would be huge in a good start here. He also was very close to Dick Tomey and the belief is he is more likely to be loyal to us than Fisch, who used us as a stepping stone.

It's not a sexy hire, but I'm of the mind it's a guy who has consistently shown he can do more with less and has a real chance to build on our talent where another coach might have to start over with everyone leaving in the portal.
