He wasn’t the runner up. He was offered the job, but negotiations fell apart when SJSU was unwilling to offer a higher assistant coach salary pool. He ultimately turned down the job. Pat Hill always tried to get his assistants paid while at Fresno state- even giving up part of his salary. Brennan was Pat Hills runner up.
Pat Hill averaged around 8 wins a season, went to 10 bowl games, and won 4. Brennan never won more than 7 games and was 0-3 in bowl games. You’re an idiot.
All but Gone to Arizona. 247 reporting the offer has been made and expected to be accepted. This one sucks for Hoser fans.

The ACC will be lucky to exist in 5 years. Cal agreed not to take any money for 10 years- it’s a sinking ship. I think most the country acknowledges that qualifying for a bowl game at Cal takes a heroic effort, much like San José.
Who are we losing this off-season?

Brent Brennan
Troy Calhoun
Barry Odum
Deboer tried to take Jake Haener with him. If it weren’t for Haener having his transfer delayed until summer, then Haener would have been riding the pine behind Penix. Worked out for both parties, I guess.
