A petition circulating online has garnered over 10,000 signatures demanding Brennan’s dismissal. Fans at the game booed Brennan off the field after the final whistle and chanted for his removal. They expressed their frustration with the team’s lackluster performance and Brennan’s inability to turn their fortunes around.

In a post-game press conference, Brennan acknowledged the fans’ anger but defended his coaching abilities. “I understand their frustration,” he said. “We’re not playing to the level we’re capable of, and I take full responsibility. But I’m confident we can turn things around.”

Arizona has struggled under Brennan’s leadership, going 15-37 since his hiring in 2017. The Wildcats have only won two Pac-12 games during that span and have lost to Arizona State in each of the last three seasons.

Local sports commentators have joined the chorus of voices calling for Brennan’s ouster. “It’s time for a change,” said one analyst. “Brennan has had ample opportunities to prove himself, and he’s failed. Arizona deserves better.”

The athletic department has not yet commented on the fan backlash or Brennan’s job status. Sources close to the situation indicate that a decision on his future is expected within the week.

If Brennan is fired, the Wildcats will likely launch a search for a new head coach. Several candidates with ties to the program, including former quarterback Nick Foles, have been mentioned as potential replacements.
