Brent Brennan was one of eight head coaches named by Ari Wasserman of On3 as on the hot seat and feeling the most pressure entering the 2025 season. Arizona finished 4-8 in their first season with Brennan as the head coach in 2024.
Arizona lost 36 transfers to the 2025 portal and brought in 28 to match the freshmen signed. Nearly half of the projected 2025 starters for Arizona are transfers. Brennan also turned over about half the staff, which includes all three coordinators.
Billy Napier of Florida is first on the hot seat list posted by Wasserman on Wednesday morning, followed by Brent Venables of Oklahoma, Hugh Freeze of Auburn, Sam Pittman of Arkansas, Brennan, Brent Pry of Virginia Tech, Mike Locksley of Maryland and Scott Satterfield of Cincinnati.
