Question: What does Brent Brennan *actually* do as the HC of Arizona Football? Halfway into the season, we know he *doesn’t* call plays, he doesn’t make good hiring decisions, he doesn’t have a persona that fans can rally behind, he can’t be bothered with marketing his own team…

Given the team’s regression in most every area, it’s not all that crazy to think Brennan and staff should be done after this season.

What’s amazingly bad about Brent Brennan is he claims to be a CEO coach Doesn’t call offense or defense and refuses to engage the community lol What’s he doing with his week? Partially kidding

Brent Brennan was meeting with boosters outside the stadium 45 minutes before kickoff. While I appreciate the effort, there seems to be a major disconnect in yet another aspect of the program/administration. 45 minutes before kickoff and outside the stadium is insane.
