The 2024 season was incredibly disappointing for the Arizona Wildcats following a 10-win campaign last year. In the first year of Brent Brennan being head coach

Arizona has fired offensive coordinator Dino Babers and reassigned defensive coordinator Duane Akina following a disappointing first season under coach Brent Brennan.

The Wildcats had the third-worst scoring defense in the Big 12 and surrendered 31.8 points per game. Arizona also had the second-worst rushing defense in the conference and allowed 175.3 rushing yards per game. The Wildcats lost eight games by a combined 191 points this season.

Brent Brennan will remain as Arizona head football coach after a meeting with first-year AD Desiree Reed-Francois on Sunday evening.

Brent Brennan announced staff changes to the media Thursday morning, following a disappointing Arizona football season. Watch his full press conference here.

Brent Brennan was all smiles and perspective at Big 12 conference meetings last spring. In the corridor of a Scottsdale hotel, the newly minted Arizona coach explained how the dynamics stood in contrast to his experience at San Jose State. Brennan wasn’t used to taking charge of a winning program, to coaching from a position of strength.

To say it was a disappointing season for the Arizona Wildcats football program would be an understatement. From top to bottom, Arizona needed to be better and its failures will be remembered until things change.
