Brent Brennan is an incredible hire for the Wildcats. His ability to build, sustain, and improve a culture simultaneously is as good as any I've seen in my broadcasting career and his ability to impact, inspire, and teach is reflected in every stop along his career arc. Players and coaches will transform and maximize their potential under his leadership. Coach Brennan's path, in a bespoke way, led him back to where his coaching career began to take shape and because of that he has a clear understanding of what that Arizona Wildcats have been and can be. In addition, his humility and competitiveness is a combination that college athletics needs in this era. Bottom line-he is perfectly fit to lead this program.
