The Arizona football team entered the season ranked in the Top 25.
The Wildcats finished with a 4-8 record overall and a 2-7 record in the Big 12 after a 49-7 loss to Arizona State in the Territorial Cup rivalry game at Arizona Stadium in Tucson on Saturday.
The loss to ASU, and the way the whole season played out, led media members and fans to wonder if head coach Brent Brennan could be fired after just one season as the Wildcats’ football coach.
Social media sounded off on the idea in the aftermath of Arizona’s disastrous loss to Arizona State, with many calling for Brennan to lose his job.

How social media reacted to Brent Brennan’s coaching job at Arizona:
I don’t have a dog in the fight but if you’re Arizona, I think you need to seriously consider firing Brent Brennan.
It’s going to be very difficult to overcome what happened this season in recruiting when the team fell off so much despite having Fifita and McMillan.

If DRF brings back Brennan she owns it at this point.

@DRFrancois1 Brent Brennan should not be the head coach of Arizona Football by the day’s end. Please fire him as soon as this game ends.

I want Brent Brennan out of this city by midnight

My dad has already declared he’s not renewing his season tickets as long as Brent Brennan is the coach of Arizona football. He is not the first nor last that I’ve heard say that.

I like Brent Brennan a great deal personally and have defended him far more than most on this platform have. But I think it’s more likely than not that this will be his final game as Arizona’s head coach.

I can’t see Arizona bringing back Brent Brennan.

Fire Brent Brennan, @AZATHLETICS.
This is a disgrace. He will never assemble a roster like this and he blew it monumentally this year.
Injuries are not an excuse to be this pathetic.

Brent Brennan goes down as one of the worst UofA football coaches ever. Time to fire this guy TODAY

Brent Brennan vs. Kenny Dillingham might be the biggest coaching disadvantage in football.
Get this guy gone yesterday.

Brent Brennan can’t have a job after this. We are so under prepared every game. Dude more worried about wearing a lei than football.
— Jace (@jace_romero) November 30, 2024
I’m officially calling for the firing of Brent Brennan. This is so embarrassing. 4-7 on the season and we’re getting run out of our house.

I think I speak for all U of A Alumni when I say Brent Brennan needs to be fired.

Wake me up when Brent Brennan has been relieved of his coaching duties at @ArizonaFBall. There is no question that this was the worst coaching job I’ve ever seen relative to the talent he inherited. A complete disaster of a season. #BearDown 😞🏈 pic.twitter.com/vjSuIujPo4
