Arizona Coach Brent Brennan Faces Hot Seat Amid Program Rebuild
Arizona Wildcats football, under head coach Brent Brennan, struggled in the 2024 season finishing 4-8, leading to diminished expectations for 2025 despite a strong preseason ranking the previous year. Brennan acknowledged the challenges faced in his first year, including roster instability due to transfers, but emphasized a renewed focus on player commitment and stability heading into the new season. CBS Sports rates Brennan with a hot seat score of 4.22, placing him among coaches who need to improve immediately or risk losing their jobs, especially given the team's need to at least reach a bowl game in 2025. Arizona has revamped its roster with 56 new players and made coaching changes, including promoting Danny Gonzalez to defensive coordinator and hiring Seth Doege as offensive coordinator. The Wildcats face low external expectations, with 247Sports reporters ranking them last in the Big 12 preseason, but returning quarterback Noah Fifita is seen as a key part of the foundation for improvement. Across college football, several coaches including Brennan, Mario Cristobal at Miami, and others are under pressure to deliver better results in 2025 or face possible job consequences.
